The programme is a one-academic year 60 ECTS Masters of Engineering (ME) programme in Biomedical Engineering. The programme is designed to give an advanced educational experience in biomedical engineering to bachelors graduates, focused on developing advanced technical knowledge and skills, coupled with real world implementation in terms of innovation, commercialization and business development. The programme aims to generate the future leaders of the national and international medical technology industry, and of academic research and teaching in biomedical engineering. The programme combines instruction through taught modules and a significant project-based learning component, and is designed to satisfy the educational criteria of Engineers Ireland for C. Eng. professional accreditation.

Graduates will be readily employable in the medical technology and cognate high-tech industries (e.g., micro-electronics, pharmaceuticals). In the medical technology industry in particular, employment roles will include research and development (R&D), design assurance, manufacturing and production, quality assurance and regulatory affairs. Graduates will also be ideally qualified to undertake PhD-level research, leading to employment in the academic and industrial research sectors.
