The application of engineering in the field of biomedicine is gaining significant momentum with many emerging themes within the medical and healthcare communities. Consequently there is an increasing demand to train science and engineering graduates to augment and extend their knowledge under the general umbrella of biomedical engineering.
The design and implementation of biomedical instrumentation in the form of monitoring, diagnostic or therapeutic devices is a growing specialist field and the demand for a suitably qualified workforce is already palpable and is set to expand rapidly as healthcare is increasingly devolved to smaller clinics and household devices.
To apply for a Taught Masters postgraduate course at LSBU you need one of the following:
- IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 580 (Paper) or 237 (Computer) or 90 (Internet)
- Licenciado/Título de Ingeniero/Título de Arquitecto, average 6.0-6.9 (old grading system), or 1.5 in new grading system
For Postgraduate Diploma and Masters courses the normal entry qualification is an Honours degree or equivalent. For some Postgraduate Diplomas alternative qualifications are accepted along with relevant work experience. The University considers each application on its merits and is prepared to admit candidates who can demonstrate they have reached the normal entry requirements on the basis of prior experiential learning.

This programme provides students with a thorough understanding of the field and with practical knowledge and expertise sufficient to evaluate, design and build medical engineering systems using a wide range of tools and techniques. This postgraduate programme aims to address the upsurge in interest in this field and the future need for highly skilled graduates in this area.
Jobs are widespread throughout the UK, particularly in NHS trusts. Manufacturing industries employ around 35 percent of all biomedical engineers, primarily in the pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing and medical instruments and supplies industries. Many others work for hospitals. Some also worked for government agencies or as independent consultants. The workplace may be an office, laboratory, workshop, hospital, clinic or more likely a combination of the above.
