Programme overview Biomedical Engineering is a nascent field in the UK that involves the application of physical, chemical, mathematical and computer science and engineering principles, to the analysis of biological, medical, behavioural and health-related problems. Biomedical engineers develop innovative devices and procedures for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, by relying on an in-depth understanding of science and engineering fundamentals combined with a broad knowledge of physiological and anatomical systems. This programme allows you to gain expertise in the exciting field of biomedical engineering and covers both theory and practical applications. You will acquire the analytical tools and broad physical knowledge of modern engineering and science, will have a fundamental understanding of the anatomical and physiological systems, and will become familiar with recent technological breakthroughs.

Careers after an MSc in Biomedical Engineering Employment opportunities in the sector are excellent and varied. Biomedical engineers can be employed by companies working in the design, development and manufacturing of medical devices; within the NHS, for example in hospitals to collaborate with clinicians in offering non-clinical services; in research institutes or academia; in governmental regulatory agencies, or as technical consultants within marketing departments.
