the master of science in biomedical engineering (or bioengineering) is a multidisciplinary field that combines biology and engineering, and which allows graduates to apply engineering principles to medicine and healthcare. this unique course combines biomaterials, imaging and in silico medicine. it gives students the medical background, specialist knowledge, and theoretical and practical skills they’ll need to integrate biology and medicine with engineering and ultimately solve problems related to living systems.

graduates will also have the chance to explore the medical devices field and product design, together with their regulatory aspects. they will develop experimental skills in the world-class laboratories and advanced skills in modelling. these skills are useful for simulating the complexities of the human body and for more traditional engineering contexts.

the course has been developed in line with accreditation standards and the university aim to formally apply to ipem and iet for the course to be accredited in the near future. students will have the opportunity to work as a clinical engineer or as a research and development engineer in the biomedical engineering industrial sector.
