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.
• Dissertation – You’ll choose a dissertation topic with the help of the academic staff and (if relevant) your sponsoring company. This topic must be wide enough to demonstrate your research and investigation abilities. The demonstration of the process your investigation follows will be as important as your actual results.

Brunel’s MSc program in Biomedical, Biomechanics and Bioelectronics Engineering will equip you to take on a very rewarding role in product development, innovation or research. Alternatively, you might go into management within the biomedical or healthcare industries or continue on to your PhD degree. In addition to your cutting edge knowledge and skills, you will have the assistance of Brunel’s employability programs, mentoring and professional support services to help you find the perfect role.
