Postgraduate Engineering
at the University of Warwick, UK
Warwick's School of Engineering is a leading engineering school and one of
the largest integrated departments in the UK. We cover the major engineering
disciplines, such as Biomedical, Electronic, Civil and Mechanical.
MSc Biomedical Engineering
Our one-year MSc in Biomedical Engineering offers a unique opportunity to study fundamental concepts
in Biomedical Engineering building essential skills in a number core areas in the field. Our programme
adopts a systems approach, which is quite unique to the University of Warwick. This exciting approach
will enable you to consider new perspectives in tackling research problems in the sector.
Core Modules
Fundamentals of Biomedical Engineering
This module provides an introduction to the
structure and function of the human body, and a
basic understanding of biomedical technology.
The module introduces pioneering areas in
biomedical engineering research, an overview of
the biomedical engineering profession and the
roles of the biomedical engineer.
Biomedical Imaging
This module will introduce you to the
fundamental principles and applications of
medical imaging in the human body, and to
imaging and sensing in the brain. The module
will provide you with a firm grounding in the
basic theory underpinning the core methods in
clinical practice, as well as an awareness of
emerging technologies and their applications.
Biomechanics
This module will familiarise you with to the
principles of mechanics as applied to
biomedical and biological systems. It will
Recognising commitment to

Engineering, Mathematics and
Medicine) academia.
introduce the fundamental principles involved in
both experimental and analytical methods, and
enable students to experience the
implementation of such methods via the School
of Engineering’s Gait Laboratory, which utilises
state-of-the-art motion capture.
Biomedical Systems Modelling and Simulation
The module will provide you with a firm
background in the tools and techniques for
performing model development, model analysis
and simulation, identifiability analysis, parameter
estimation and model validation. Industrial
seminars are given by leading biomedical
modelling practitioners.
Biomedical Signal Processing
This module will provide you with a broad base
of signal processing techniques that can be
applied across a breadth of application areas in
order to help medical practitioners make sense
of this data deluge.
Optional Modules
Individual Project
• Computational Intelligence in Biomedical
Engineering
• Healthcare Technology Engineering: design,
maintenance and assessment
• Introduction to Systems and Synthetic
Biology
• Introduction to Systems Pharmacology
• Biosensors
• Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering and
Regenerative Medicine
The individual project is often linked with
industrially sponsored research within the
School of engineering. Projects usually involve
the use of one of the many research labs in the
school and usually integrate into on-going
cutting research in the school around the many
aspects of biomedical engineering. The projects
also can include design, measurement and/or
analysis of experimental data, or analysis of
survey based research.
