Course Summary

The MSc in Biomedical Engineering delivers state-of-the-art knowledge and understanding of Biomedical Engineering.

Course Overview

The MSc in Biomedical Engineering delivers advanced modules informed by the active research expertise and industrial links of our academic staff. The course prepares students for careers in advanced biomedical technology. Biomedical Engineering spans the whole School of Engineering incorporating predictive modelling signal processing electronics communication software hardware systems thinking and machine intelligence. Warwick has a unique systems approach to research and teaching and so modules are developed across disciplines in parallel to our research. This approach culminates in a group design project in which you will design a medical device such as a wearable monitoring device to predict falls an assistive intelligent frame for walking or an intelligent audio implant. This is in addition to an in-depth individual project which allows you to work closely with an academic on state-of-the art research often linked with industry.

Teaching

The degree comprises eight taught modules and a project. The individual project entails an in-depth experimental theoretical or computational investigation on a topic chosen by the student in conjunction with an academic supervisor.

Assessment

A combination of coursework and written examinations.

Careers

Graduates from these courses have gone on to work for employers including: AECOM BAE Systems BT Morgan Sindall Mott MacDonald Proto Labs TSP Projects and Volvo Cars Corporation. They have pursued roles such as: business research and administrative professionals; civil engineers; design and development engineers; mechanical engineers; quality control and planning engineers.

Our department has a dedicated professionally qualified Senior Careers Consultant offering impartial advice and guidance together with workshops and events throughout the year. Previous examples of workshops and events include:

  • Options in Engineering
  • Meet and Engineer
  • Engineering Science and Technology Fair
  • Considering a PhD in the STEM Subjects
  • Warwick careers fairs throughout the year

Modules

This module gives you the opportunity to demonstrate that you have independently contributed primary data and/or a new analysis of secondary data, within your chosen advanced research topic. Projects will be highly variable in nature to reflect the range of topics within the programmes of study but all will provide you with an opportunity to achieve the learning outcomes. Thus, projects may entail experimentation, modelling, analysis and literary survey skills to develop advanced skills in the discovery and occasionally creation of new knowledge. The module also offers the chance for you to pursue curiosity driven work guided by an academic supervisor.
