MSc Biomedical Engineering

The Biomedical Engineering MSc at the University of Sheffield is a one-year full-time course that gives students the opportunity to apply engineering principles to the design, development and evaluation of complex medical devices for the modern biomedical industry. The course is offered in modules, inclusive of lectures in the autumn and spring semesters, a research project over the spring and summer, and exams at the end of the academic year.Course Content: The course programme provides students with a scientific understanding of human and mammalian physiology and the opportunities to apply engineering physiology. Students will be taught how to develop and design medical devices for the growing biomedical industry. It also includes training in medical device regulations and business development.Key Modules: The particular modules covered in this course include Signals and Systems for Biomedical Engineers, Computational and Molecular Biology, Human Anatomy and Physiology for Engineers, Medical Instrumentation, Medical Imaging, Science of Prosthetics and Orthotics, Biomaterials and Applications, Tissue Engineering Approaches to Failure in Living Systems, and Being a Researcher.Accreditations: This Biomedical Engineering programme is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and offers fast-track progression to Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.Future Careers: After completion of the course, students may pursue a career designing life-saving medical devices, develop regulations for those devices, manage technology in healthcare organizations, and develop new businesses based on new medical technologies. Completion of this course will add a competitive edge in the biomedical industry job market or enable students to continue towards PhD research.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
