This course will prepare you for an exciting career across a wide range of areas of engineering in medicine, be that in academic or industrial research, the medical devices sector or in the clinical arena. The course is professionally accredited and suitable for people with both engineering and life science backgrounds, including medicine and subjects allied to medicine. The course is accredited by the Institute for Physics and Engineering in Medicine, whose aims are to ensure that graduates of accredited programmes are equipped with the knowledge and skills for the biomedical engineering workplace, be that in industry, healthcare or academic environments. Accreditation gives you confidence that the course meets strict suitability and quality criteria for providing Masters-level education in this field. The aim of the course is to provide multidisciplinary Masters level postgraduate training in Biomedical Engineering to prepare students for future employment in healthcare, industrial and academic environments. This involves building on existing undergraduate knowledge in basic science or engineering and applying it to core principles and current issues in medicine and healthcare. Specifically, the objectives of the course are to: provide postgraduate-level education leading to professional careers in biomedical engineering in industry, academia and a wide range of healthcare establishments such as medical organisations, medical research institutions and hospitals; provide an opportunity for in-depth research into specialist and novel areas of biomedical and clinical engineering; expose students to practical work in a hospital environment with hands-on knowledge of patient care involving technological developments at the forefront of the field; introduce students to exciting new fields such as regenerative medicine and novel technologies for physiological monitoring and diagnostics. Modules will be assessed by a mixture of assessment methods, including lab reports, essays, and presentations, and final examination. Students will also achieve pgdip award during this course.
