About this program
Biomedical Engineering MSc
Our Biomedical Engineering MSc is suitable for both practising professionals and new graduates with an engineering or science-based degree.
With this degree, you'll apply engineering principles and push forward technology. You'll create novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools for various medical conditions. Research and development in science and engineering will likely transform future healthcare.
The MSc has four streams, so you can specialise in your area of interest:
- biomechanical
- biomaterials
- bioelectrical
- regulatory sciences
You'll study specialised modules according to your choice of stream. Some taught modules are common between the four streams. These lead to the award of MSc in Biomedical Engineering.
