Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering - MEng (Hons)

City St George's, University of London

This integrated master's degree prepares you for a career providing highly specialised science and engineering expertise to medical and healthcare industries. As a biomedical and healthcare engineer, you'll apply your knowledge to the operation of cutting-edge technology used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.This interdisciplinary course begins with a general engineering foundation and introduces elements of health sciences, before focusing on advanced biomedical and healthcare engineering. Advanced subjects include biomedical instrumentation, biomaterials, biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering, and biosignal analysis techniques. Your learning involves a combination of theoretical, experimental, and computational study. Our approach encourages critical thinking and fosters curiosity through teamwork and independent study. Group learning and communication skills are emphasised through design projects and presentations, which demonstrate your expertise to employers. A fourth year at master's level helps your transition to professional practice.Careers in biomedical and healthcare engineering span widely across modern engineering and science. You might find work in the newest scientific fields, such as biosensing, imaging, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. Your specialist skills will also be highly transferable to roles and industries outside the biomedical and healthcare engineering sector.
