Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering with placement Meng (Hon)

This integrated masters degree in biomedical and healthcare engineering prepares you for a career working in healthcare, with possible destinations including hospitals, research facilities, educational institutions, or regulatory government agencies.<br/><br/>As a trained biomedical and healthcare engineer, you directly apply the principles of science, engineering, and medicine to the operation of complex medical technologies. The expertise you develop in our masters degree will be used in the prognosis, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of people who are seriously ill or injured.<br/><br/>This interdisciplinary course begins with a general engineering foundation and introduces elements of health sciences, before focusing on advanced biomedical and healthcare engineering. <br/><br/>Advanced subjects include biomedical instrumentation, biomaterials, biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering, and biosignal analysis techniques. <br/><br/>Your learning involves a combination of theoretical, experimental, and computational study. Our approach encourages critical thinking and fosters curiosity through teamwork and independent study. <br/><br/>Group learning and communication skills are emphasised through design projects and presentations, which demonstrate your expertise to employers. A fourth year at masters level helps your transition to professional practice.<br/><br/><br/>• Benefit from industry and NHS involvement, with projects set by external professionals, and guest lectures from practising biomedical and healthcare engineers<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Study in world-leading test facilities, including our flagship Biomedical Engineering Research Centre, where you conduct research and test theories<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Design and fabricate healthcare technologies, perform physiological measurements and undertake analysis of biosignals<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Take an optional placement year to boost your employability – recent placements have included Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, St Bartholomew’s Hospital, Draeger, PerkinElmer, CureVac, Genetic Microdevices (GMD)<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Fast-track to Chartered Engineer status with a degree that meets all academic requirements for professional registration.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Careers in biomedical and healthcare engineering span widely across modern engineering and science. You might find work in the newest scientific fields, such as biosensing, imaging, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. <br/><br/>Your specialist skills will also be highly transferable to roles and industries outside the biomedical and healthcare engineering sector. <br/><br/>Our graduates can be found in businesses, research organisations and health services around the world. You could join our biomedical and healthcare engineering alumni in any of the following sectors:<br/><br/><br/>• Medical technology<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Academic research<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Medicine and healthcare (NHS)<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Finance and professional services<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Management consultancy.<br/><br/><br/><br/>We have every expectation that these degrees will receive full accreditation from the Institute of Physics Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institute of Measurement and Control (InstMC).
