MSc Medical Engineering Design

If you have ever spent some time in a hospital, you are probably unaware that you were the beneficiary of medical devices that have been designed and developed by Medical Device Designers. Everything from the bed you lie on to the MRI scanner that shows your insides on a screen, to the blood pressure monitor, to the scalpel is known as a Medical Device and will have had input from Medical Device Designers. The aim of the MSc in Medical Engineering Design is to immerse you in the discipline to make you a Medical Device Designer so that you can work in this highly regulated design discipline.

The course is run by the School of Medicine in collaboration with the Research Institute for Science and Technology in Medicine. Teaching takes place at the Guy Hilton Research Centre, a dedicated research facility located on the Royal Stoke University Hospital site, and also at the main University Campus. The School of Medicine is one of the top-ranked in the UK, and the research institute has an international reputation for world-leading research in medical engineering and healthcare technologies.

Established in 1949, Keele University is one of the largest campus universities in the UK, with over 10,000 students studying on our beautiful 600-acre estate in Staffordshire, with our local NHS partners, and across the world. Keele sets the gold standard for teaching, with some of the most satisfied students in the country, and our research seeks to improve lives and address the most pressing challenges across our region, country, and world.

Keele University was born from a pioneering vision, one of a different kind of university. Established in 1949 by Lord Lindsay - the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University - in a country still recovering from the Second World War, the University was originally guided by the needs of the local community. The University’s founding aim was to produce graduates who not only had the technical and specialist knowledge to move society forward, but who understood the social and political landscape that drove this need. Fast-forward over 70 years and this original ethos remains at the core of the University’s mission, and our cutting-edge expertise and research is being used to improve the lives of people and address the most pressing challenges not just locally and within our region, but across the world.
