Course summary
The postgraduate taught degree is a modular conversion course which provides broad training in biomedical engineering to help you progress with a career in research, industry or in the NHS. Participants can graduate with an MSc in Biomedical Engineering or choose to follow one of two specialist streams which focus on either Biomechanics or Cell and Tissue Engineering. We bring together engineering, medicine and the life and physical sciences to enable the development of relevant clinical and industrial research. The Masters programme explores advances in technology and engineering to generate applications and solutions to clinically relevant problems. As part of the course you’ll go on visits to local clinical centres and attend lectures from industrialists and visiting experts from the UK and overseas. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet our many industrial and clinical partners to help advise and further your career.
Modules
Compulsory Classes: Medical Science for Engineering, Engineering Science, Professional Studies in Biomedical Engineering, Research Methodology, Biomedical Electronics, Biomedical Instrumentation. Elective Classes taken will depend on the stream chosen. but some examples include: Introduction to Biomechanics, Prosthetics and Orthotics, Regenerative Medicine, Tissue Mechanics, Clinical and Sports Biomechanics, Anatomy and Physiology, Bio signal Processing and Analysis, Biomaterials and Biocompatibility, Cardiovascular Devices, Rehabilitation Technology, Haemodynamic for Engineers, Prosthetics and Orthotics, Clinical and Sports Biomechanics
Entry requirements
Normally a first or second-class Honours degree, or international equivalent, in engineering, physical science, life science, medicine, or a profession allied to medicine. For candidates with other qualifications, or who may benefit from a longer period of study, the MSc can be undertaken over 24 months.
