The programme is a full-time taught postgraduate degree course leading to the degree of MSc in Biomedical Engineering. It has an international dimension, providing an important opportunity for postgraduate engineers to study the principles and state-of-the-art technologies in biomedical engineering with a particular emphasis on applications in advanced instrumentation for medicine and surgery.
This taught MSc course is initially aimed at students in Chinese partner Universities, including Tianjin University, who will complete the first part of the course at their own institution before coming to Dundee to complete their studies. The January start date is for these students only. (Please note that this course is full for January 2010.)
This course is also open to students from elsewhere.
Contents
The course is divided into two parts: Part I in Chinese partner Universities or equivalent modules in Dundee, and Part II in the UK.
Part I (60 Credits) has three core modules, or other agreeable modules (3 months):
- Biomedical Instrumentation (20 Credits)
- Medical Signal and Image Processing (20 Credits)
- Biomechanics (20 Credits)
Or equivalent modules (60 credits) provided in Dundee:
- Imaging and Instrumentation for Medicine and Surgery (30 Credits)
- Biomechanics and Biomedical (30 Credits)
Part II (120 Credits) has one taught module and a research project module. It starts at the beginning of the University of Dundee's Semester 2, which is in mid-January:
- The taught module, Advanced Medical and Surgical Instrumentation (30 Credits), exposes students to the leading edge of modern medical and surgical technologies. It will also give concepts and understanding of the role of entrepreneurship, business development and intellectual property exploitation in the biomedical industry, with case examples.
- The research project (90 Credits) will allow students to work in a research area of their own particular interest and to learn skills in presentation, critical thinking and problem-solving. Project topics will be offered to students before they come to Dundee for Part II of the course. We shall do our best to provide all students with a project of their choice.
The time spent in Dundee will also give students a valuable educational and cultural experience.
