Course summary
Bioengineering is a highly interdisciplinary research area that forges connections between engineering, physical sciences, biology and medicine. The aim is to research and develop innovative diagnostic, therapeutic and real-time monitoring biomedical devices and technologies.
The main research initiatives in bioengineering can be split into three key areas:
-
Assistive technologies for stem cell medicine
-
Medical diagnostics and biosensing
-
Synthetic biology and industrial biotechnology
As a Masters by Research (MScR) student, you will spend the duration of this programme working on a research project. An MScR programme allows you to gain specialist knowledge in your research area, and is sometimes taken as a precursor to a PhD.
You will conduct your research as part of the Institute for Bioengineering, a vibrant and varied group whose interests include modelling, biosensing, biomedical signals and biomedical applications of engineering technology.
