Program Description

The aim of the MSc in Medical Engineering Design is to turn you into a medical device designer so that you can work in this highly regulated design discipline.The course adopts a holistic approach to medical device design, addressing healthcare regulatory compliance, design build and specification, together with the functionalities and benefits to satisfy end users’ needs, be they patients, medical practitioners or those funding healthcare.Core modules introduce you, and immerse you in design methodology, design control, international medical devices regulations, auditing, risk management and risk analysis, team working, and medical device specific technical documentation.The course capitalises on research and innovation taking place within the University’s Orthopaedics and Biomechanics Research Group, which is led by Course Director Professor Ogrodnik. Comprised of engineers, scientists, consultants, nurses, mathematicians, psychologists, veterinarians and environmentalists, the group’s sole aim is to improve the health and wellbeing of humans and animals through science based interventions.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 Medical Engineering Design can be studied as either a one-year full-time or two-year part-time course, with start dates in September and 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.

Other Requirements

  • This is a “conversion” course and therefore you need not have an engineering degree to apply. You must have a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) based degree, but that could be anything from Biomedical Science, through Forensic Science, to Computer Science. Of course, if you have an engineering degree you can still apply. We welcome applications with a first or second-class degree (or equivalent) in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) discipline. We also welcome enquiries from people with other professional qualifications acceptable to the University.
  • For IELTS Waiver : CISCE/CBSE Class XII: 70% or above. All other State Boards Class XII (except Punjab or Mohali School Education Board): 75% or above in English, depending on course.Study should be taught in English. Otherwise IELTS is required.
