Program Description

This multidisciplinary MSc builds your knowledge of core principles and practices in medicine, science, engineering and product design, preparing you to contribute to the development of novel technologies, instrumentation and treatment.Accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), it takes you through the entire innovation life cycle – from conceptualisation and design, to production and implementation, both here in the UK and abroad. This in turn opens up career possibilities at any point in the process, for instance in R&D, hardware or software engineering, manufacturing or the sale of equipment, as well as maintenance and management in-situ.In accordance with the IPEM’s mission to promote a diverse and inclusive professional community, our course is suitable for those with a wide range of backgrounds, including bioscience, life science, medicine and subjects allied to medicine, as well as the conventional disciplines of engineering and physical sciences.Depending on your background, we offer two entry-level conversion modules: Engineering for Medical Applications for those without an engineering background, and Human Anatomy and Physiology for those without a medical science background. The flexible structure enables you to personalise your study according to your interests, choosing optional modules which enable you to learn more about exciting new fields, like nanomedicine or stem cell therapies.The flexible structure of the course enables you to personalise your study according to your interests, choosing optional modules from a broad range of subjects, which span the disciplines of biology, maths and engineering. This, coupled with clinical visits, specialist seminars and a choice of dissertation projects that span fundamental research to clinical translation of technologies, ensures a truly ‘bench to bedside’ approach.Interacting with active researchers, clinicians and practitioners also gives you a greater appreciation of the context in which healthcare engineering operates, including vital safety, environmental and economic concerns, for instance, in relation to medical devices and technology services.The MSc Biomedical Engineering can be studied as either a one-year full-time or two-year part-time course, starting in January. You will complete 180 credits to obtain the master’s qualification, comprising five compulsory modules and four optional modules, including the core Project Dissertation (60 credits). There are also two interim awards available, depending on how many modules (and credits) have been successfully completed: a Postgraduate Certificate for 60 credits; and a Postgraduate Diploma for 120 credits.
