Course Summary

This MSc programme allows students to gain an in-depth understanding of engineering approaches to biological problems.

Learn to use methods and techniques developed in traditional engineering fields, and adapt them to biomedical applications.

  • Get involved in internationally leading bioengineering research at a top UK university.
  • Work in our state-of-the-art facilities including laboratories for biofluids, mechanobiology, and the leading Organs-on-Chips Centre.
  • Professionally accredited by IOM3 (Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining), demonstrating that our curriculum is closely aligned to industry needs.

What you'll study

This programme aims to equip you with the skills to develop new computational and technological products for use in the biomedical industries.

You’ll take compulsory modules on biomedical engineering in urology, and ethics and regulatory affairs. The rest of your programme is determined by the specialism you choose. You'll have the option to choose modules in areas such as electronics, medical robotics, nanotechnology and nanomedicine, sensors and clinical measurements and more.

Your research project forms a major part of your degree. It provides you with an excellent opportunity to take part in internationally-leading research within the School of Engineering and Materials Science, using our excellent facilities.

Teaching

You’ll be taught by world-leading academics and engineers, with specialisms in nanostructured biomaterials, mechanobiology, regenerative medicine and more.

Teaching staff members have previously been awarded research funding from the likes of the Wellcome Trust and the European Union, and have been recognised with teaching awards from Times Higher Education and Reimagine Education.

Our academic research feeds into our teaching at all levels, ensuring you share in the latest advancements.

  • 95% of those postgraduates are in highly skilled roles (GOS, 2019/20)​

Modules

The module is an intensive research module that spans all three MSc semesters. It draws together the knowledge and skills from the taught component to address a research challenge of significant scope to be undertaken independently, under supervision. It focuses on the technical, project management and communication skills needed to successfully execute academic- and/or industry-oriented research. The project entails to apply research methods to solve original problems of fundamental or applied nature.
