What you will study

This multidisciplinary MSc builds your knowledge of core principles and practices in medicine, science, engineering and product design, preparing you to contribute to the development of novel technologies, instrumentation and treatment. Accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), it takes you through the entire innovation life cycle – from conceptualisation and design, to production and implementation, both here in the UK and abroad.

Career pathways

Biomedical engineering focuses on the advances in equipment and technology that can improve human health and health care at all levels, bench to bedside – from the development of novel devices, materials and technologies, right through to their testing, manufacture, implementation and maintenance. With an ageing population and rise in the number of people suffering chronic health conditions, biomedical and clincal engineers are in high demand.
