About the course

The MSc in Biomedical Engineering applies the core principles and design techniques of engineering to medicine and healthcare - including the design and development of devices used for medical diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation.

　　Rapid technological advances in areas such as 3D printing, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, nanotechnology and virtual reality (VR) combined with ageing populations are driving rapid growth in the global medical technology industry. These exciting innovations are also opening up a wide range of career opportunities for engineers in the fields of clinical engineering, medical device development and biomedical engineering research.

　　On this programme, you will gain a solid foundation in medical engineering and develop your skills in the design and development of cutting-edge technologies used in medical devices and healthcare delivery.

　　Delivered by experts from the School of Engineering and the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition, this programme provides a truly interdisciplinary education in biomedical engineering within the clinical context of medical technologies. As well as studying the core topics in biomedical engineering such as biomaterials, robotics, and biomechanics, you will learn about the nature and origin of physiological signals, the methods by which those signals are acquired and understood, and how they are used in medical devices.

　　The programme culminates with your research project, which provides an opportunity to undertake independent research and apply the knowledge and skills you have acquired to a practical ‘real-world’ biomedical engineering challenge.

　　If you are interested in helping contribute to improving human health and well-being through the intersection of engineering and medicine, then the MSc Biomedical Engineering is the perfect choice for you. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
