MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering - Biomedical Engineering

Postgraduate Prospectus - MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

Are you ready to make a difference in healthcare? Whether you develop 3D-printed artificial organs, design next-generation exoskeletons, or create a med-tech start-up, you’ll have a profound impact on patients' treatment, recovery and quality of life.

Overview

In the field of medicine, the pursuit of innovative solutions in healthcare is paramount. 

Advancements in biomedical engineering have the potential to revolutionise patient care and improve the quality of life for individuals around the world. 

From developing cutting-edge medical devices to designing sophisticated imaging systems, biomedical engineers play a crucial role bridging the gap between technology and healthcare. They apply the principles of engineering and design to solve complex medical problems and create innovative solutions that save lives and improve patient outcomes. 

By pursuing a Master’s in this area, you can position yourself at the forefront of this exciting and dynamic field. 

During this programme, you’ll explore the world of Biomedical Engineering by undertaking modules like Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering, Design for Clinical Practice, Finite Element Analysis, and more. 

At the end of the course you will complete a Biomedical Engineering project in which you can showcase all of your newly acquired skills and knowledge.

Bridge the gap between medicine and technology
Whether it's creating artificial organs, developing state-of-the-art prosthetic devices, or designing precession medical imaging systems, biomedical engineers are at the forefront of innovation in the field of healthcare. 

Graduates of this course integrate engineering principles with medical knowledge, and are able to tackle challenges and develop groundbreaking solutions that have the potential to transform healthcare as we know it. 

Enrolling in this course will help you gain a deep understanding of the intersection between engineering and medicine. You will graduate into a rapidly growing job market and be able to make significant contributions in the field of biomedical engineering. 

Programme Structure

This course allows students to study part-time or full-time. Full-time students beginning in September may complete the programme in 12 months. 

Part-time students can complete this course in 2-4 years and can decide how many modules per semester and academic year they take. They can study on-campus or remotely but will be required to attend campus for examination purposes.

An alternative Master’s Qualifier and an Access Course entry paths are available for EU-status students who do not meet the Master’s programme direct entry requirements. The typical workload for each module includes three hours of lectures and 1 hour of lab work per week. All classes are between 9am and 5pm. 

Students will undertake the following core modules:

• MM533 Research Practice and Methodology

• MM517 Advanced Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering 

• MM500 Design for Clinical Practice

• MM524 Advanced FEA

• MM532 Computational Thermo-Fluid Dynamics

• MM546 Project in Biomedical Engineering
