Research areas covers Biomedical optics; Biomedical Ultrasound; Computing, digital image processing; Continence and skin technology; Functional electrical stimulation; Implanted devices; Laser and endoscopic surgery; Magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy; Medical imaging including 3D graphics; Neurophysiology including electrical impedance tomography; Physiological sensing; Radiation physics. As a multi-disciplinary subject at the interface of physics, engineering, life sciences and computer science, our postgraduate students have a diverse range of options upon graduation. Many choose to continue in academia through the subsequent award of a PhD studentship or a postdoctoral research post, either at UCL or another university. Another common career route is employment in industry where newly-acquired skills are applied to science and engineering projects within multi-national medical device companies, or alternatively, within small-scale start-up enterprises. A substantial number of graduates also enter the NHS or private healthcare sector to work as a clinical scientist or engineer upon completion of further clinical training.
