Masters Degree Description

On the MSc you'll receive broad, multidisciplinary training in modern biomedical engineering, across engineering, medicine and the life and physical sciences, to help you build a future career in research, industry or in the NHS. Within the programme you will have the chance to explore how advances in technology and engineering can generate applications and solutions to modern healthcare problems.

As part of the course, you’ll attend lectures from industrialists, clinicians and visiting experts from the UK and overseas. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet our many industrial and clinical partners to help advise and further your career.

Entry Requirements

Normally a first-class or second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in engineering, physical science, life science, medicine, or a profession allied to medicine.

For September entry, the MSc can be undertaken over 24 months for candidates who may benefit from a longer period of study.
