MSc Medical Engineering

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time (15 months for January starters), 2 years full-time with placement

Course Description

This course has been developed to meet the needs of the healthcare sector and the medical industry in the UK and internationally. It is specifically designed to increase the employability of its graduates in an engineering and technological context by identifying new medical product opportunities and by conducting projects in collaboration with a range of relevant partners.

Medical Engineering is user-focused, taking a multidisciplinary approach and building on strong relationships with industry and the health sector. The course aims to provide you with live engineering and design experience and the tools to drive forward process, material and critical thinking in the commercial world.

You will benefit from the internationally recognised research activities in the engineering subject area which have been supported by grants from a variety of funding organisations. The engineering team has been involved with numerous international collaborative projects, and closely works with industry and the healthcare sector on different research and development schemes.

You will get a direct industrial experience of the newest developments in the field through collaboration with NTU’s Medical Technologies Innovation Facility (MTIF), start-up companies, the Medical Engineering Design team, and the SWIFT research group.

Work with the surgical and clinical community on live project briefs as part of a substantial existing network between NTU and our relevant partners. These links and others we have in the medical industry mean that you could collaborate and undertake a project with them.

Entry Requirements

  • A UK honours degree (minimum 2:1) or equivalent in a related discipline such as Engineering or BEng / BSc Product Design subjects
  • Applicants with relevant employment experience or other relevant qualifications will also be considered

Programme Funding

You might be able to get a scholarship to help fund your studies. We award scholarships to those students who can demonstrate excellent achievement, passion and dedication to their studies.

Student Destinations

All students will be allocated a personal tutor throughout their course of study in order to provide pastoral support. Each module will provide students with the opportunity to engage with specialist lecturers via seminars and project work, allowing them to explore knowledge they are applying to assignments and topical discussion points.

All staff members teaching on the programme are members of professional institutions and most are active researchers, with many undertaking industrial consultancy.

Our commercial, surgical and clinical partners will also be available to provide support for student projects and as needed for other student-specific requirements.

You will graduate with a broad range of skills applicable to medical engineering and design. These include (but will not be limited to):

  • concepts behind medical imaging techniques and good practice in image acquisition and processing
  • understanding of new (smart) materials for improving the functionality
  • cost and / or sustainability of medical devices and prosthetics
  • understanding of the impact of prosthetics or medical implants on the body’s metabolism.
