Course Content
The taught modules are delivered over two terms. During the second term you’ll also work on your dissertation part-time. This will be followed by four months of full-time effort. Your dissertation project will involve an advanced piece of investigation and research relevant to biomedical engineering.
Teaching and Learning
Our biomedical engineering postgraduate degrees are delivered by passionate world-leading biomedical research academics, and enhanced by clinical professionals who are part of our extensive network of industry and hospital collaborative partners.
Study will combine lectures, seminars, tutorials, supervised laboratory sessions, self-study, and individual and group project work. There will also be hospital and industrial visits.
Curriculum
|
This aim of this module is to give an introduction to the mechanics of the human body and the biomechanical and biomedical material requirements for surgical devices and implants. The basics of biocompatibility and the response of human tissue to implant materials will also be considered.
|
This aim of this module is to provide an introduction to Biomedical Engineering Principals incorporating the foundations of mechanics, biomechanics and bio-fluid mechanics necessary for the practice of biomedical engineering, and the basics of structure and function in the human body, physiological processes and clinical response to disease or trauma.
|
This module aims to provide students with experience of researching, assessing and reporting on the manufacturing, quality and design procedures including CAD (computer aided design) techniques in the biomedical engineering field.
|
This module aims to give an introduction to the innovation processes required for the development, testing and release of new products, systems and devices into the commercial biomedical and clinical environment. It also aims to provide students with knowledge and skills to conduct research, analyse and interpret data, and to be familiar with management, ethical, risk and health and safety issues associated with conducting research in a clinical setting.
|
The dissertation aims for students to complete and report on a soundly executed and constructed programme of investigation, analysis and research containing original work.
Careers
Your biomedical engineering postgraduate degree from Brunel will provide you with the acquired skills that are essential to the modern biomedical and healthcare industry. You’ll also have the expertise required to enter into product innovation, development and research.
Some of our graduates have taken on roles such as:
- R&D engineer
- biomedical specialist in intensive care monitoring and ventilation
