The course is run by the School of Medicine in collaboration with the Research Institute for Science and Technology in Medicine. The aim of the MSc in Medical Engineering Design is to convert you into a Medical Engineering Designer so that you can work in this highly regulated design discipline. Students are able to major in three distinct areas, medical devices design, sustainable devices design and formal, structured design per se. This enables students to become distinctive through specialism choices whilst maintain academic rigour through the study of formal engineering design. The course is taught through lectures and seminar. These are supported by tutorials and practical exercises. Collaborative learning and student-centred learning give widespread opportunity for group work and individual assignments. Students are required to conduct extensive independent study. Online access to literature is supported by full access to the Keele library on campus and the Medical Library on the hospital site. There is a suite of dedicated computers for the exclusive use of MSc students. Students are supported by the guidance of a personal tutor, as well as having access to university-wide support services. English language support is also provided, where appropriate. Modules will be assessed by a mixture of assessment methods, including lab reports, essays, presentations, and final examinations. In addition to the technical and subject specific knowledge, the course develops a range of transferable employability skills such as team working, time management and planning, written and verbal communication, and numeracy. Students will also achieve Pg cert and Pgdip awards during this course.
