YEAR 1
Intercalated research project
The intercalated research project is worth half the degree (60 credits) and will run across the entire academic year.

You'll choose four modules (15 credit each) during semester A and B. Specific guidance on the selection of modules that match the research projects will be provided by the tutors and the programme director.
Surgical Techniques and Safety
Bioengineering in Urology
Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine
Advanced Structure-Property Relationships in Materials
Ethics and Regulatory Affairs
Advanced Materials
Advanced Polymer Synthesis
Science of Biocompatibility
Chemical and Biological Sensors
Tissue mechanics
Clinical Measurements
Computational Fluid Dynamics

You'll study a range of core principals that:
⦁ Increase knowledge and fundamental research in biomedical engineering and clinical materials for medical and dental healthcare interventions.
⦁ Develop analytical insights into the healthcare technologies and innovations in business and industry.
⦁ Develop an ethical framework for the pursuit of clinical and laboratory research.
⦁ Develop advanced training in laboratory safety and skills.
⦁ Advance information technology and statistical competence to allow data analysis.

You will be able specialise in a range of areas including:

⦁ Fetal medicine and women’s health.
⦁ Medical robotics and computer assisted surgical devices.
⦁ Tissue engineering (eg. stem cell therapies, biomaterials, nanotechnology).
⦁ Cell/tissue nano/micro mechanics, mechanobiology and inflammation.
⦁ Regenerative medicine (eg. cardiovascular, orthopaedic, urology, neurology, cancer).
⦁ Personalised medicine (eg. predictive computational modelling, neural networks, machine learning, artificial intelligence).
