MSc Engineering for Biomedicine

at Imperial College London

The following core modules are compulsory for all students:
 

• Fundamentals of Biomedical Engineering 
• Statistical and computational methods for research 
• Principles of Biomedical Imaging 
• Medical Device Certification 
• Journal Club

Our minimum entry requirement is a 2.1 degree(or equivalent) in a clinical or life science degree. A 2.1 degree in a physical science will also be considered where there is significant human biology content.
 

Students from a Physical Sciences background may wish to consider our MSc Biomedical Engineering.
 

Applications for the programme are competitive, applications with less than a 2.1 or international equivalent will be unlikely to receive offers.
 

Applicants awarded an unclassified clinical degree (e.g MBBS, MBChB and MChD/BChD) are expected to show good academic standing (typically within the top 50% of their medical school cohort). Where a graded intercalated degree has been undertaken at least a 2.1 should have been achieved.
 

An ‘A’ grade in A-level maths (or equivalent) is desirable.

£35,700
 

Fees are charged by year of entry to the College and not year of study.
 

Except where otherwise indicated, the fees for students on courses lasting more than one year will increase annually by an amount linked to inflation, including for part-time students on modular programmes. 

Career-focused degrees ensure graduates are well-placed to gain employment in a growing industry. The global population is ageing which increases demand for biomedical engineers to create new medical devices.
 

There are many areas of employment open to you as a graduate of this course, and previous graduates have gone on to pursue careers in:

• Healthcare
• Medical device industry
• Research
• Medicine
• Start-ups
• Teaching
• Consultancy
• Finance
   

Around 60% of our Postgraduate graduates go into employment upon completion of their degree while just over a third go on to further study or training. Graduates have gone on to work at such companies as:

• Deloitte
• Ernst & Young
• GE Healthcare
• GSK
• Philips Healthcare
