Biomedical Engineering with Management MSc (Eng)

University of Liverpool

Discover the principles and technologies that have led to biomedical engineering becoming essential in healthcare, medicine and human biology. Suitable for graduates in engineering or physical sciences, this master’s degree combines knowledge of biomechanics and fluid mechanics in the human body with engineering design innovations and a modern management toolkit.IntroductionBiomedical engineering, the application of engineering knowledge and skills to healthcare, medicine and human biology, is the fastest growing engineering discipline worldwide.Contributing to the future development of artificial organs, medical devices and novel treatments, the School of Engineering is home to internationally recognised, ground-breaking research in biomedical engineering. This programme harnesses this expertise in key areas around biomechanics, cardiovascular fluid mechanics, tissue engineering, biomaterials, engineering design and manufacturing.You’ll discover how to measure and analyse human movement, learn the principles of blood flow and the role of different bio-fluids in the human body, and gain an understanding of the structures and properties of materials used in medical devices.Immersing you in computer aided design and engineering product design, we’ll introduce the latest 3D tools and techniques and task you with the development of innovative products and creative solutions. We’ll also focus on modern management, including examining organisational behaviour and enhancing your project management skills.Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the programme includes a supervised independent research project. This provides the opportunity to enhance your skills and knowledge in an area of biomedical engineering of your choice, supported by our specialist research facilities.Who is this course for?This programme is designed for engineers and physical scientists who want to develop specialist skills and knowledge in biomedical engineering and combine this with insights into effective leadership and management.Please note: University of Liverpool engineering graduates in aerospace, mechanical or civil engineering are not eligible for this programme.What you'll learnCardiovascular fluid mechanics in the human body, including the importance of blood flow
