This degree is delivered over one year on a full-time basis, and includes both required and optional modules.
Required Modules:
- Biomechanics and Biomaterials – you’ll learn about biomedical materials, biocompatibility, implant design and the principles of biomechanics.
- Biomedical Engineering Principles – You’ll look at the composition, mechanical properties and structure of hard and soft tissues, the nervous system and the cardiovascular systems in terms of biomechanical intervention.
- Design and Manufacture – You’ll look at the design, management and manufacturing of implants and similar products, materials optimisation, industrial interaction and regulatory compliance.
- Innovation, Management and Research Methods – you’ll look at how organisations in the UK’s healthcare sector are managed and organised. You’ll also explore the research methods which inform managerial decision making in the industry.
