One of the following pathways
Students commencing Level 2 of a programme of study from session 2016-17 onwards must take FCE2001 Engineering – You’re Hired as a core module. A student will be expected to pass the module in order to progress to Level 3. A student must pass the module in order to graduate.
Students must attend three two-hour workshops/tutorials on Arduino programming which will be held in the first semester of Level 2. A student must attend in order to progress to Level 3.
One of the following streams
A student will be responsible for securing a suitable industrial placement in order to take BIE390 Bioengineering Year in Industry. The appropriateness of the placement will be determined by the Bioengineering Director of Undergraduate Studies. A student who fails to obtain a suitable placement will instead be required to become a student for the Degree of MEng Bioengineering (BIEU19). A student will take BIE390 Bioengineering Year in Industry before proceeding to Level 4.
BIE390 requires that a student will spend a minimum of 38 weeks working in an industrial establishment, the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Bioengineering Director of Undergraduate Studies. A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of MEng Bioengineering (BIEU19).
For all students:
A student must pass the Advanced Bioengineering Research Project (BIE61003/BIE61004/BIE61005/BIE61006/BIE61007/BIE61008/BIE61009/BIE61010) at the first attempt in order to be eligible for the award of the Degree of MEng in Bioengineering. A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng Bioengineering (BIEU20).
A student must satisfy the requirements of the General Regulations for First Degrees as to progression in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MEng Bioengineering (BIEU19). A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to (a) at the end of Level 2 become a candidate for the Degree of BEng Bioengineering (BIEU20), or (b) at the end of Level 3 become a candidate for the unaccredited Degree of BEng Bioengineering Technology (BIEU23). A student who fails the Individual Advanced Project at Level 4 or who chooses to withdraw from the University at the end of Level 3 may be awarded the unaccredited Degree of BEng Bioengineering Technology (BIEU23).
For students commencing Year 1 of a programme of study in or after September 2022:
A student who has been awarded credit in compensation of failed units in Years 2, 3 and 5 will be permitted an additional resit attempt in the compensated credits. An additional resit attempt can only be granted where the student has met the requirements for progression (or completion) under the General Regulations for First Degrees.
A student who has been awarded credit in compensation of failed units in Years 2, 3 and 5, where the grade achieved is more than 10% below the pass grade in those failed units, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.
A student who has been awarded more than 30 credits in compensation of failed units across Years 1, 2, 3 and 5, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.
Where a student has met the requirements for the award of a degree under the General Regulations for First Degrees but not the requirements for the award of a degree accredited under Engineering Council rules, they may be recommended for the award of BEng Bioengineering Technology (BIEU23).
