OverviewCombining mechanical and electronic engineering with biology and physics, you will learn to develop healthcare technologies to solve medical problems and improve health and wellbeing provisionsMulti-disciplinary focus taught by experts from across Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, Mathematics, and Public Health and Sports Sciences.Gain valuable knowledge and perspectives to solve real-world issues in this growing fieldJoin our vibrant postgraduate community benefiting from research-inspired teachingCourse contentThis MSc is an interdisciplinary programme that will give you a solid grounding in all the skills and knowledge that you need for a commercial or academic career in Biomedical Engineering. The application of engineering-based solutions to medical problems is of increasing global importance to society. You will benefit from working alongside highly regarded academics from four prestigious departments, all active in global research which you will be exposed to as part of your learning.CareersEngineering programmes combine a mix of fundamental science, analytical techniques and complex problem-solving projects that provide students with a wide range of valuable knowledge and skills. This puts the graduates in a good position to solve real world challenges, with a variety of techniques, making them attractive to relevant employers.
Biomedical Engineering is a growing field in terms of academic research, the medicine, medical device, and healthcare industries, and 3rd sector organisations such as healthcare providers like the NHS. This growth is driven by the ageing population across the globe and the medical challenges this presents through increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as osteoarthritis, along with the need to manage and treat new diseases. Biomedical Engineering graduates are, therefore, ideally placed to use the knowledge of healthcare related science and technology, and skills in engineering processes, problem solving, and design to work in any of these sectors.The knowledge and skills you will gain during this MSc programme are also highly transferable to other industries, including other engineering disciplines, finance, professional services, management consultancy, and teaching.
