Biomedical Engineering MSc

Develop state-of-the-art knowledge and understanding of biomedical engineering at postgraduate level.<br/><br/>This course is accredited by the IET, and IMechE and InstMC. More information is available on the School of Engineering website<br/><br/><strong>Course overview</strong><br/>Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles to medicine, biology and healthcare.<br/><br/>Our course covers the development of methodologies and devices, applied to topics in healthcare technology and in advancing the state-of-the-art in the field. Core modules cover the fundamentals of biomedical engineering including biomedical imaging, biomechanics, medical devices and systems modelling. Optional modules allow you to specialise in an area of interest, for example signal processing, systems modelling or computational intelligence.<br/><br/>You will also undertake an individual research project – an extensive experimental, theoretical, or computational study on a topic of your choice, guided by a research active academic supervisor. Previous project titles include: Development of a bicycle adapter for a finger amputee; Monitoring psychological stress and mental health status using biological signals; PKPD modelling to assess the effects of anti-cancer agents on tumour volume; 3D morphable face model for emotion recognition; A wearable device for monitoring blood pressure.<br/><br/>Warwick School of Engineering has a unique systems approach to biomedical research and teaching. Teaching on this course is underpinned by research activities in biomechanics, biomaterials, systems biology and medicine, synthetic biology, computational intelligence in biomedical engineering, neural engineering, medical imaging, biomedical signal processing, healthcare technologies, telemedicine, medical sensors and diagnostics, and many other topics in biomedical engineering and biomedical science.<br/><br/><strong>This information is applicable for 2026 entry.
