The course draws upon the internationally recognised research within the School of Engineering in areas such as Tissue Engineering, Bioceramics, Medical Devices, Digital Health, Point-of-Care Health Diagnostic, Cardiac Resuscitation Technology, Therapeutic Devices, Smart Medical Sensors and Drug Delivery Technology.

Core modules include biomaterials, tissue engineering, bioinstrumentation and medical device development. The course team has a wealth of industrial experience, and several medical device spin-out companies have been established by the School of Engineering.

An outstanding 94% of the School of Engineering research output has been judged as world-leading or internationally excellent, and it is ranked in the UK top 20 (REF 2021). The course is based in internationally recognised NIBEC centre within the school which is the longest established Biomedical Research Centre in Ireland. The multi-million pound purpose-built facilities house some of the most sophisticated nano-fabrication, biological and characterisation equipment in the world. NIBEC is staffed by an internationally recognised and well experienced team of researchers and academics working predominantly at the interface of bioengineering and nanotechnology. Upon successful completion of the programme students will be more employable within the industry, or in an academic and/or research career through a PhD programme, such as those offered by the School through our Nanotechnology and Integrated Bioengineering Centre (NIBEC).
