About this course
Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering (Mechanics and Materials) with Industrial Placement Year, a mechanical engineering degree focused on healthcare technologies, medical devices, and biomechanical systems. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Mathematical Modelling, Accounting, Engineering Design, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The programme incorporates a compulsory industrial placement year spent within a professional engineering organisation, alongside an individual project and a group design project. The first year introduces foundational engineering principles through modules such as An Introduction to Engineering Design, Data Science and Computing for Engineers, Electrical and Electronics Systems, and Mechanics, Structures and Materials. The second year expands into specialized biomedical and mechanical topics via Biomedical Engineering Research, Design and Practice, Electronics and Control, Human Biology in Health and Disease, and Systems Design and Computing. The third year consists entirely of the Industrial Placement Year. The fourth year focuses on advanced applications with Biomaterials, Engineering Design with Management, Human Factors in Engineering, Individual Project, and Orthopaedic Biomechanics, while offering optional modules such as Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging, Computational Biology, Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics, Manufacturing and Materials, and Robotic Systems. The final year concludes with advanced coursework including Biomedical Application of Signal and Image Processing, Computational methods in biomedical engineering design, and Group Design Project, alongside options covering Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging, Fundamentals of Auditory Implants, Introduction to Machine Learning, Medical Electrical and Electronic Technologies, and Signal Processing.
