Description

Our Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering provides all of the necessary technical knowledge, expertise and transferable skills to succeed in one of the fastest growing engineering disciplines. This degree offers four distinct steams, each of which accredited and employment-focused:

• Biomechanics and Mechanobiology pathway – this stream focusses on bioengineering problems related to systems including cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, ophthalmic, and respiratory systems, with the content aiming to understand how mechanical forces impact biological function at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and organism levels.

• Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering pathway – this stream is jointly offered with the Department of Materials and covers the use of biomaterials in medical and surgical environments

• Medical Physics and Imaging pathway – this stream trains graduates in the physical understanding required for healthcare and medical research, with focus on human physiology, radiotherapy and clinical imaging

• Neurotechnology pathway – this stream focuses on new technology for investigating brain function, such as developing neuroprosthetic devices and new neuroimaging techniques.
