MSc Biomedical Engineering with Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
This MSc takes an interdisciplinary approach to the rewarding and important field of biomedical engineering.
You’ll work within our dynamic, thriving Division of Bioengineering and gain the skills to develop new biomaterials for use in a range of medical environments. You’ll also acquire extensive knowledge of human physiology, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and biomaterials.
You’ll examine the biocompatibility of implantable materials and devices and investigate materials and techniques for nanotechnology and nanomedicine in our superb specialist facilities.
You’ll have specialist knowledge of specialist techniques to synthesize and/or characterise materials for biomedical engineering and the mechanics of tissues, cells and sub-cellular components. You’ll also have the option to study ethics and regulatory affairs in the biomedical field or polymer synthesis.
Your research project forms a major part of your degree. It provides you with an excellent opportunity to take part in the internationally leading research that takes place within the School of Engineering and Materials Science (SEMS). You’ll join one of our research teams and work on a biomedical engineering related project, supervised by a member of academic staff.
Our excellent facilities will enable you to conduct cutting-edge research, enabling you to publish your findings at scientific conferences and in peer reviewed journals.
Our MSc Biomedical Engineering has been accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.
Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). The accredited MSc will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng (Hons) accredited for CEng will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEnq registration.
It should be noted that graduates from an accredited MSc programme that do not also have an appropriately accredited Honours degree, will not be regarded as having the exemplifying qualifications for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer with the Engineering Council; and will need to have their qualifications individually assessed through the Individual Case Procedure if they wish to progress to CEng.
Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
