This MSc takes an interdisciplinary approach to the rewarding and important field of biomedical engineering.
You’ll work within our dynamic, thriving Division of Bioengineering and gain the skills to develop new biomaterials for use in a range of medical environments. You’ll also acquire extensive knowledge of human physiology, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and biomaterials.
You’ll examine the biocompatibility of implantable materials and devices and investigate materials and techniques for nanotechnology and nanomedicine in our superb specialist facilities.
You’ll have specialist knowledge of specialist techniques to synthesize and/or characterise materials for biomedical engineering and the mechanics of tissues, cells and sub-cellular components. You’ll also have the option to study ethics and regulatory affairs in the biomedical field or polymer synthesis.
Your research project forms a major part of your degree. It provides you with an excellent opportunity to take part in the internationally leading research that takes place within the School of Engineering and Materials Science (SEMS). You’ll join one of our research teams and work on a biomedical engineering related project, supervised by a member of academic staff.
Our excellent facilities will enable you to conduct cutting-edge research, enabling you to publish your findings at scientific conferences and in peer reviewed journals.
Our Biomedical Engineering with Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering MSc has been accredited by IMechE, on behalf of the Engineering Council and a suffix "EngC Pathway" will be added to the degree title when a student satisfies the accreditation requirements.
Progression and award requirements for an accredited MSc are stricter than these requirements for a standard QMUL degree. If a student does not satisfy the accreditation requirements, but does satisfy the requirements for a standard QMUL degree, the "EngC Pathway" suffix will not be added.
