Course Summary

This MSc programme is ideal for engineering graduates who want to boost their careers in one of the fastest-growing engineering disciplines. You’ll gain specialist expertise in how to develop biomaterials for use in medical and surgical settings – and be at the forefront of innovation in this vital discipline.

  • Get involved in internationally leading bioengineering research at a top UK university.
  • Work in our state-of-the-art facilities, including engineering labs and in-house research centres.
  • Professionally accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), demonstrating that our curriculum is closely aligned to industry needs.

What you'll study

This MSc programme takes an interdisciplinary approach to the rewarding and important field of biomedical engineering.

Working within our thriving Division of Bioengineering, you'll be supported to gain the skills to develop new biomaterials for use in a range of medical environments. You’ll have the opportunity to acquire extensive knowledge of human physiology, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and biomaterials.

You’ll examine the biocompatibility of implantable materials and devices, and investigate materials and techniques for nanotechnology and nanomedicine in our specialist facilities.

Teaching

You’ll be taught by world-leading academics and engineers, with specialisms in nanostructured biomaterials, mechanobiology, regenerative medicine and more. Our staff have links with organisations such as the Royal Society of Medicine, the European Academy and OAtech+ Network.

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

You will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and laboratory sessions, as well as completing coursework for academic feedback. You will be assigned an Academic Advisor who will guide you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your time at Queen Mary.
