The degree is a full-time taught postgraduate degree course leading to the degree of MSc in Biomedical Engineering. It has an international dimension, providing an important opportunity for postgraduate engineers to study the principles and state-of-the-art technologies in biomedical engineering with a particular emphasis on applications in advanced instrumentation for medicine and surgery. It will also encourage students to develop research skills by taking part in research projects during their training.
This course can be taken in association with partner Universities in China with part of the course taken at the home institution before coming to Dundee to complete your studies. For students form elsewhere it is possible to take the entire course at Dundee.
The structure of the MSc course has two parts. The first part can be taken either in Dundee or via partner Universities, primarily in China. On completion of the first part of the course all students come to Dundee to have a further taught module and take part in a major research project.
The taught modules expose students to the leading edge of modern medical and surgical technologies. The course gives concepts and understanding of the role of entrepreneurship, business development and intellectual property exploitation in the biomedical industry, with case examples. The research project allows students to work in a research area of their own particular interest, learning skills in presentation, critical thinking and problem-solving. Project topics are offered to students during the first semester of the course.
Current and recent projects include:
The normal entry requirement is a four-year Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification in a discipline that provides a suitable basis for the course, e.g. biomedical, electrical, electronic or mechanical engineering, physics or mathematics. Students with other academic backgrounds should contact the Course Director to make further enquiries and to discuss their individual cases.
For admission to Part II of the course, students must have passed Part I of the course, and reached a standard in the English language that is acceptable to the University of Dundee if your first language is not English. Please check our Language Requirements page for full details, including University of Dundee English Language courses.
