Molecular Bioengineering

Building DNA probes for cancer diagnosis, creating tissue scaffolds to support wound healing and even creating synthetic life, Molecular Bioengineers use their understanding of Biology and Chemistry to engineer solutions to medical and biological problems. This is a truly interdisciplinary course – as well as biology and chemistry, you will use skills from maths, physics and computing to understand and improve biological systems. You’ll have a series of taster lectures exploring how engineers are at the forefront of medicine and work in our labs, putting your practical skills to the test.

Alongside academics, you’ll participate in information sessions preparing you for the transition to university, including student finance and student life Q&As. These insights will help you make informed decisions about university and prepare for a smooth transition when you get there.

The evenings will include team-building activities and opportunities to explore different aspects of student life, including an off-site trip and a celebratory meal on the final evening. And whilst we can’t fully replicate the independence of a university experience, you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be a university student, helping you feel more confident and prepared for your future at a top institution.

After your summer school, we’ll provide transition support through an online event, personal statement support, and optional interview practice if you get an interview offer from Imperial.
