Academic title MSc Bioengineering
Course description Programme

This is a new suite of programmes that will be available from September 2009. It is based around the recent formation of a Centre for Biomedical Engineering, a joint initiative of the School of Engineering and the College of Medicine & Veterinary Medicine. The Centre carries out advanced research in a number of different areas such as arterial biomechanics, biophotonics, orthopaedics, stem-cell engineering, synthetic biology and biosensore. The aim of the programme is to provide future researchers and practitioners with the knowledge and skills to further the clinical translation of cutting-edge research.

How You Will Be Taught

A two-semester programme of taught material will be followed by a three-month dissertation (or a research project) leading to a Masters thesis. Some of the modules will be designed to help students with a physical sciences background to understand biology and physiology. In the second semester more specialist courses will be followed. Extra tutorials and support are always available if requested.
