Biomedical Engineering (conversion) MSc

Queen Mary University of London

This MSc is designed for graduates of science disciplines who wish to pursue a career in bioengineering. Learn to use methods and techniques developed in traditional engineering fields, and adapt them to address challenges in healthcare diagnosis and treatment.Our comprehensive programme covers the fundamentals of biomedical engineering, before allowing you to specialise in key areas. Get involved in leading bioengineering research at a top UK university.Work in our excellent facilities and on-site research centres, including laboratories for biofluids, mechanobiology, and the high-profile Organs-on-Chips Centre.Professionally accredited by IOM3 (Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining) and IMechE (Institution of Mechanical Engineers). What you'll studyThis programme aims to equip you with the skills necessary for a career in biomedical engineering. You’ll take compulsory modules on biomedical engineering in urology, plus ethics and regulatory affairs. Our non-credit bearing 'Essential Mathematics Skills for Engineers' module also brings you up to speed with the mathematical concepts engineers use to design structures, predict performance, and optimise systems. The rest of your programme is determined by your interests and career aspirations. You'll have the flexibility to choose modules in diverse areas including electronics, medical robotics, nanotechnology and nanomedicine, sensors and clinical measurements and more. You'll complete a large-scale individual research project in our excellent facilities, which include high-performance computing clusters and specialised laboratories. AccreditationOur MSc in Biomedical Engineering (Conversion) has been accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) and Institution of Mechanical Engineers under license from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. 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 CEng registration. Graduates from an accredited MSc programme that do not also have an appropriately accredited bachelor's degree will need to have their qualifications individually assessed through the accrediting body's Individual Case Procedure if they wish to acquire CEng status.
