MSc Biomedical Engineering

University of Hull

An ageing population combined with a continuous drive to improve quality and equality of care means increased pressure on the healthcare system and budgets. The demand for qualified biomedical engineers who can create and deliver healthcare solutions and technology is greater now than ever before.Taught by research-active staff, you’ll explore how the human body works and how to apply engineering skills to solve medical and healthcare challenges.With first-hand experience of medical device development, we’ll mentor you as you implement your ideas. We’ll take you through every step of the process. From concept design and material selection, through to analysis and optimisation, and regulatory approval.You’ll enhance your lab skills, carrying out physical testing on biomaterials and learning industry-standard techniques in medical image analysis and processing for modelling purposes. Build your research skills though a project of your choice. And consider sustainable approaches in creating solutions, along with cultural, equality, and health and safety responsibilities.Our biomedical engineering research aims to solve clinical challenges and reaches industry standards with our ISO accreditation. The broad expertise of our research-active lecturers informs our teaching and stretches across the medical engineering spectrum - from macro level to micro scale. Our strong relationships with industry give you opportunities to work on real-world research and hear from guest speakers in the sector.You’ll graduate with the skills to succeed in the biomedical industry – a sector that’s worth hundreds of billions of pounds globally.
