MRes in Bioengineering
The new course starting in 2013/14 will provide dedicated training on Research methods (MRes) in Bioengineering. The research-led teaching programme utilises the Institute’s expertise and addresses the multi-disciplinary subjects of engineering, biology, human physiology, and medicine. It is always challenging for a graduate to perform research in this multi-disciplinary field. Therefore, the course delivers taught modules to fill knowledge gaps within the specific bioengineering disciplines. It provides substantial training on performing research in biomechanics engineering, biosensing, medical instrumentation and bioprocessing with ample opportunities for hands-on research practise. Students are exposed to our ongoing research activities and have the opportunity to carry out their dissertation research on a specific project of their choice. The extensive training in research methodology and practice will equip students with all necessary skills to perform bioengineering research within multi-disciplinary context. This degree will suit anyone with an engineering, science, biology, biophysics or other relevant first degree who is interested in expanding and updating their knowledge of bioengineering. In the field of medicine, the programme is especially useful to clinicians who wish to develop academic research skills, progress to PhD study or to enter competitive specialties such as senior surgeon or consultancy. This course is also highly beneficial to anyone considering a career in the industrial or commercial world where research is a key focus but a PhD is not specifically required. However, a number of students may subsequently decide to pursue a PhD.
