Biomedical engineering with no maths/physics level 3/ A level

Hi 👋
I have recently completed my applied biomedical science Pearson level 3 and got accepted and offer for Biomedical Engineering at Ulster University I am eligible for this course just wondering how difficult will it be considering I haven’t studied maths/physics past GCSE I normally don’t struggle with maths/physics.
Thanks

Hi! Congratulations on your offer for Biomedical Engineering at Ulster, exciting times ahead! While Biomedical Engineering does involve some math and physics, many students who haven’t taken these subjects past GCSE manage well, especially if they feel comfortable with the basics. Your background in Applied Biomedical Science will give you a good foundation in scientific thinking, which will definitely help.

Hi @TOMMYww

Congratulations on your offer for Biomedical Engineering at Ulster University.

Since you haven’t studied maths or physics beyond GCSE, there might be an adjustment period, especially since Biomedical Engineering does involve foundational concepts in both. However, if you don’t usually struggle with these subjects, you’ll likely be able to manage with a bit of focused effort. Universities often provide resources and support for students to catch up on these subjects, so you could make use of these early on. To prepare, you might consider refreshing some core A-level maths and physics topics, particularly in areas like algebra, calculus, and basic mechanics, which can be helpful in engineering. Starting with a strong foundation can make your transition smoother.
