Course content

The course aims to provide science or engineering graduates from a diversity of backgrounds with a solid grounding in modern bioengineering technologies, together with options to develop an emphasis in biomechanics and biomaterials, bioimaging and biosensing and digital modelling of various human systems which will prepare students for a career in an industrial, clinical or research environment.

This course is one of a suite of three closely related bioengineering masters courses that comprise of a common core with the ability to focus on specific aspects of bioengineering. This course has a broader scope than the other courses, allowing students to select modules related to biomaterials, biomechanics, and imaging and sensing.

This course may be appropriate for students who have yet to decide which area of bioengineering they wish to focus on. The principles of the course are highly relevant to the established medical device sector, the biotechnology and the emerging regenerative medicine industry.

This multidisciplinary masters covers practical and theoretical aspects of bioengineering, including:

• cell-biomaterial surface interactions
• materials characterisation
• functionalisation of surface
• biomechanics and mathematical modelling
