Biomedical engineering brings together engineering, medicine, and biology to solve healthcare problems. It’s a field that uses innovation and technology to make a difference in people’s lives. Biomedical engineers work on:
Our Medical Engineering MSc allows you to learn from top engineers, scientists, and doctors. You’ll see how engineering is changing healthcare and improving lives. You’ll also get hands-on experience in clinical settings. This will include Ninewells Hospital, one of Europe’s leading teaching hospitals. There, you’ll work with medical professionals, study the human body, and see how your skills can make a real difference.
Our Biomedical Engineering Master’s course gives you the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this fast-growing field. Whether you want to work in research, industry, or the NHS, this course will prepare you for your future career.
Learning goes beyond the classroom. Alongside building strong knowledge in biomedical engineering, you’ll develop transferable skills.
You’ll also work with experts from different engineering and medical backgrounds. These real-world connections will help you understand the industry and inspire you to achieve your career goals.
You will be able to know, understand and identify the components and structures of different of the anatomical systems. You will be able to identify major muscles and muscle groups and understand how they act, either alone or in conjunction with others.
The aim of the module is to provide the student with: knowledge of bio materials in particular of applications in tissue engineering and bio compatibility; knowledge of interaction between biological systems and prosthetic materials during tissue regeneration; an understanding of the physiological effects of exercise; experience in computer modelling of bio mechanical properties of tissue; a basic understanding of natural bio materials; an introduction to bioreactors; knowledge of the basic properties of implant materials and the way in which these influence their biocompatibility; to develop competence in scientific writing and reporting.
The aim of the module is: through the use of case studies based on real devices and their commercial development routes to strengthen and broaden understanding of concepts taught in the core modules of the course; to give students a sound theoretical knowledge and practical awareness of leading edge technologies used in modern medical and surgical instruments and devices; to develop in students the skills required for real biomedical problem identification and solving; to stimulate and encourage students to apply engineering theories and principles to address biomedical problems and to be familiar with research methods; to provide a basic understanding of the process of invention and its management; an introduction to entrepreneurship and its interface with invention; product development and its relationship to invention, resultant intellectual property and entrepreneurship; to develop competence in scientific writing and reporting; to develop team working skills.
The aim of the module is: to provide an opportunity to develop skills in research, investigative methods and design in an area of biomedical engineering of interests; to develop a high level of competence in a particular biomedical engineering topic; to develop in the conduct of a project requiring individual responsibility and initiative; to provide guidance in working independently on a project; to develop and improve skills in project planning and implementation, team working and communication with peers and experts.
