MSc Biomedical Engineering

The MSc Biomedical Engineering at the University of Hull allows students to be taught by research-active staff. Students learn how the human body works and how to apply engineering skills to solve medical and healthcare challenges. With first-hand experience of medical device development, students are mentored from concept design and material selection through analysis and regulatory approval.

Students enhance their laboratory skills by carrying out physical testing on biomaterials and learning industry-standard techniques in medical image analysis and processing for modelling purposes. They also consider solution development alongside cultural awareness, equality considerations, and health and safety responsibilities.

The programme requires students to undertake independent, original research under the guidance of expert supervisors. Students are matched with academics who specialise in their chosen research area, ensuring strong mentorship and access to world-class facilities. The university’s strong industry connections provide opportunities to work on real-world research projects and learn from guest speakers across the sector.
