Biomedical Engineering (MSc)

The MSc in Biomedical Engineering delivers state-of-the-art knowledge and understanding of Biomedical Engineering.

Course Overview

The MSc in Biomedical Engineering delivers advanced modules informed by the active research expertise and industrial links of our academic staff. The course prepares students for careers in advanced biomedical technology. Biomedical Engineering spans the whole School of Engineering incorporating predictive modelling, signal processing, electronics, communication, software, hardware, systems thinking and machine intelligence. Warwick has a unique systems approach to research and teaching and so modules are developed across disciplines in parallel to our research. This approach culminates in a group design project in which you will design a medical device, such as a wearable monitoring device to predict falls, an assistive intelligent frame for walking or an intelligent audio implant. This is in addition to an in-depth individual project which allows you to work closely with an academic on state-of-the art research, often linked with industry.

Teaching

The degree comprises eight taught modules and a project. The individual project entails an in-depth experimental, theoretical or computational investigation on a topic chosen by the student in conjunction with an academic supervisor.

Assessment

A combination of coursework and written examinations.
