The MSc Biomedical Engineering programme is a joint programme with the University of Edinburgh which offers you the opportunity to develop key Biomedical Engineering knowledge and skills required for your professional development. Youll gain a deep understanding of the core engineering and science underpinning the Biomedical Engineering and Manufacturing sector.
During the masters programme, youll gain a broad knowledge of the core components in Biomedical Engineering Sciences and practices, whilst developing an extensive, detailed, and critical knowledge and understanding of at least one specialist area within the subject. The flexible degree structure allows you to focus in on your specific interests within Biomedical Engineering. Youll have the opportunity to choose courses from an extensive list, including Engineering-Biology Interface, Manufacturing, Biomaterials, Introduction to Bioelectronics, Sensors and Instrumentation, Lab-on-Chip Technologies, Technologies for Biosystems, Regulation of the Safe and Sustainable Development of Substances, and Technology Entrepreneurship.
The career-focused masters programme will develop your technical, scientific, and managerial abilities, and provide you with a specialist education to set you up to become a professional Biomedical Engineer. Upon completion, youll have the skills and knowledge to prepare you for a wide range of technical and managerial careers across the sector, including roles in process and plant design, construction, commissioning, operation, management to specialist consultancy, and advanced research and development. This programme is accredited by IMechE.
For MSc entry, a good relevant Honours degree (first or upper second class) or equivalent overseas qualifications will be considered. Areas such as Engineering, Physics and Biotechnology (or similar) will be core disciplines. Given the clear practical element of the programmes, we will also consider non-graduate candidates holding less than a good Honours degree, or its equivalent, but with compensating qualifications or experience may be admitted.
