Biofluid Mechanics

This MSc course is the first one-year taught course dedicated to Biofluid Mechanics. It covers a wide range of multidisciplinary training on the kinematics and dynamics of fluids related to biological systems, medical science, cardiovascular devices, numerical modelling and computational fluid dynamics. The one-year full-time programme offers you a unique opportunity to lead the next generation of highly-skilled postgraduates that will form a new model worldwide for academia – with world-class research knowledge, industry – with highly-competitive skills in both biomedical engineering and fluid dynamics, and for society – with better training to work with clinicians.

Learning & teaching

Classes are organised in lectures, laboratory demonstrations, practical exercises and hands-on experience with industrial software on real biofluid mechanics problems. In addition to the classes, you'll benefit from invited academic and industrial speakers, departmental seminars and knowledge exchange events.

Assessment

Assessment methods include exams, coursework and the research project/thesis.

Careers

Graduates will be highly employable in the following markets and related sectors/companies, among others:

• medical devices
• simulation and analysis software
• Academic research
• biosimulation market
• NHS and the healthcare/medical simulation
• life science research tools and reagents
