Simultaneous degree in Medicine and Engineering?

universities do not offer BOGOF deals.

If you don’t want to be a doctor then why are you going to do medicine? Radiology is a separate degree, and biomedical engineering would also require a different, more physics/maths-y degree to medicine and probably radiology. If you want to make machinery then you need a more engineering degree, whilst if you want to do radiology do a radiology degree. You seem to have no interest in medicine.

I definitely want to become a doctor and it’s something that will always come as my first priority.
It was more of a ‘If’ kind of question and I am not really seriously considering it. (Or am I?)
However, I do think that some engineering knowledge might come into work as a doctor, especially as a radiologist?
Plus, when developing new imaging analysis/machines, there’s always a doctor involved in this process, and I would love to help out in this.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

so you do something Med Physics as your Intercalation, then you apply for academic foundation programme and aim at radiology, during your time asa radiology reg you do a PhD in something to do with the physics side of medicla imaging ...

Thank you for your help
Does the intercalated degree count as a ‘whole’ degree which can be used to apply for PhD?

Is it possible to complete an degree in engineering (mechanical) and medicine at the same time?

I currently hold an offer for medicine which I hope to join in September .
I am interested in a career in radiology and I would love to work as a biomedical enginner and as a doctor developing new imaging technologies in the future.

I’ve read that I need a physical sciences/engineering/computing degree to take a masters/PhD in biomedical engineering.

I can’t find any information on their websites, does anyone have any ideas?

I know a couple of students in med that intercaled in Biomedical Engineering (at some uni in London), maybe worth taking a look at this? Otherwise think its not possible as both would likely be in person and full time hours.

That would've been lovely though, in some alternate universe. I quite like the idea of being able to learn engineering and chemistry at the same time.

THAT'S SO CRAZY, that's exactly my situation rn!! What did you end up choosing as I'm really, really stuck, and dk what to do?
Man I wish the uni system here was like America's, or that I'd applied to American unis😭

I ended up choosing a degree called "robotics". I just looked for unis that did more popular degrees like "mechanical engineering" and then picked the one with the most non-optional modules I liked the sound of. My justification was that it would be easier to ask to use engineering facilities like 3D printers / metal lathes if I was an engineering student, and outsourcing usually isn't that cheap (though PCB makers in China are expanding their manufacturing capabilities and changing that situation).

Still, I would've liked to have chemistry knowledge too since I want to design my own resin-based 3D printer and formulate meterials that haven't yet been commercialised, such as reuseable resin. I can't yet comprehend things like the long chemical names and currently only have a basic grasp on how to read hexagonal diagrams, so I've got a lot of learning ahead of me.

I've also seen "Doctor Stone" and I get the impression that chemistry turns raw materials into useful materials, and engineering turns useful materials into task-fufilling machines.

I still feel evenly split on the matter of studying either chemistry or engineering. Right now, most of my personal projects are engineering based, so I'm doing a dedgree that complements that, allowing myself to count my research as "wider reading".

Reusable resin? E.g. you can melt it back down or such? Interesting idea
