Biomedical Engineering (Biomechanics and Mechanobiology)

Gain technical knowledge, expertise and transferable skills in bioengineering on this Master's course.

Deepen your understanding of how bioengineering can tackle modern healthcare challenges and examine bioengineering problems related to major diseases associated with an ageing population. These include cardiovascular disease, glaucoma and bone and joint disease.

This stream focusses on bioengineering problems related to systems including cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, ophthalmic, and respiratory systems. The content is aimed at understanding how mechanical forces impact biological function at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and organism levels.

An individual research project is a key component of the course, allowing you to apply your knowledge to current research problems.

Teaching is shared across our South Kensington and White City campuses. This includes the Sir Michael Uren Biomedical Engineering Hub, our new centre of MedTech innovation.
