Physics And Engineering In Medicine Msc

This programme pathway is designed for students with an interest in the engineering aspects of technology that are applied in modern medicine. Students gain an understanding of the biomedical engineering principles and practices used in hospitals, industries and research laboratories through lectures, problem-solving sessions, a research project and collaborative work. Students study in detail the engineering and physics principles that underpin modern medicine, and learn to apply their knowledge to established and emerging technologies in medical imaging and patient monitoring. The programme covers the engineering applications across the diagnosis and measurement of the human body and its physiology, as well as the electronic and computational skills needed to apply this theory in practice. Careers Graduates have obtained employment with a wide range of employers in health care, industry and academia sectors. Employability Postgraduate study within the department offers the chance to develop important skills and acquire new knowledge through involvement with a team of world-leading scientists and engineers. As well as developing key science and engineering knowledge, graduates learn project management, communication and team working skills which they are then able to apply to solving problems at the forefront of human endeavour. The department has a recognised track record for producing excellent graduates who go on to hold leading roles in universities, companies and hospitals around the world. Optional qualificationThis degree is also available as a PG Diploma and a PG Certificate with fees set accordingly. Accredited by he UK Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM).
