MSc Biomedical Engineering (conversion)

1 Year On Campus Masters Program

Queen Mary University of London

Program Overview

This interdisciplinary MSc program is crafted specifically for science graduates who are eager to dive into the world of biomedical engineering. You'll build a solid foundation in essential subjects like urology, ethics, and regulatory affairs, and then have the chance to specialize in exciting areas such as medical robotics, nanomedicine, and sensors.

The course is accredited by IOM3 and IMechE, paving your way toward achieving Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

Highlights:

  • Perfectly tailored for science graduates making the leap into biomedical engineering
  • Access to state-of-the-art facilities, including the Organs-on-Chips Centre and biofluids labs
  • Learn from top-notch researchers in fields like biomaterials, mechanobiology, and biosensors
  • Flexible module options that align with your career aspirations
  • Engage in a significant individual research project with guidance from academic supervisors
  • Proudly ranked in the Top 120 globally for Engineering (THE 2022); part of the prestigious Russell Group and University of London

Assessment:

  • A blend of coursework, exams, and a self-directed research project
  • Ongoing academic support from a dedicated advisor throughout your journey

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

You'll complete a large-scale individual research project, a major component of your degree, under close academic supervision. This will take place in our state-of-the-art facilities, including high-performance computing clusters and specialised laboratories.

Recent research projects include:

  • Image-based techniques to determine the activation of cancer-associated fibroblasts
  • Development of a 3D-printed chip for creating an organotypic vascularised skin model
  • Accelerated wear protocols to study clinical wear in modern hip prostheses
