Biomedical Engineering

Our interdisciplinary master's in Biomedical Engineering focuses on the application of engineering to biology and medicine in order to enhance and improve healthcare.
Building on our excellent reputation and successful history of engineering, this programme will enhance your knowledge and skills and develop your ability to solve manufacturing and product design problems related to biomedical and healthcare engineering, so that you can work on exciting projects with life-changing potential. It will enable you to thrive in an environment where teams come from a variety of disciplines and it will facilitate ease of communication with team members from a biological sciences or medical background, with whom you may work with upon graduation.
The biomedical engineering field is rapidly developing and crosses a range of global industrial sectors helping people achieve a better quality of life. Biomedical engineers have contributed to innovations in medicine and healthcare products and technologies, such as diagnostics, drug delivery systems, biomedical imaging, artificial organs and prosthetic devices.
This interdisciplinary programme is designed to develop your knowledge and understanding of the most up-to-date developments in biomedical engineering, preparing you for a career in industry or continued academic studies at the forefront of this rapidly-growing discipline.
The modules studied will allow you to integrate your engineering skills with an understanding of biology, enabling you to work successfully at this intersection of engineering to solve problems in healthcare. You will explore biomaterials and tissue engineering to gain a combined insight into biology and engineering enabling you to process the repair, replacement and medical enhancement of damaged cells and tissue, and biomedical product design, which provides insights into how human lives can be transformed through engineering solutions.
You will be immersed in our research culture and will complete your own biomedical engineering-focused research project. This will take up around a third of your course, working alongside our internationally respected research teams, helping you to gain solid practical and theoretical skills to boost your chosen career trajectory.
