This course combines study of materials engineering with human anatomy, physiology and cell biology. You'll develop an understanding of the health care applications of materials. Modules look at repairing the body from disease and injury using medical devices, compatible materials and tissue biology approaches. You'll learn how to choose the best material for uses within the body, in the context of applications in both research and industry. You'll complete additional individual and group research and design projects, rather than the usual five-month placement in the third year.
