Summary
Develop state-of-the-art knowledge and understanding of biomedical engineering at postgraduate level.
This course is accredited by the IET, and IMechE and InstMC. More information is available on the School of Engineering website
Course overview Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles to medicine, biology and healthcare.
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.
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.
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.

| Entry requirements | Minimum requirements Please note that applicants will need post A2 Level (or equivalent) knowledge in Mathematics, covering topics such as linear algebra, calculus and analysis, and including differential equations. This could be gained through a mathematics module taken as part of an undergraduate course. It is expected that candidates have a good understanding of these topics at the start of their MSc studies. You can see how your current degree score or GPA equates to the British system in our Study pages in the equivalent scores table. We are willing to consider applications from students with lower qualifications on a case-by-case basis, particularly when the applicant can evidence relevant employment, practical experience or strong performance in undergraduate modules related to their proposed postgraduate course of study. To ensure you have the essential foundations for the course, and depending on your overall academic profile, we may require you to take a mathematical skills test.
