MSc en Ingénierie Médicale

This course has been developed to meet the needs of the healthcare sector and the medical industry in the UK and internationally. It is specifically designed to increase the employability of its graduates in an engineering and technological context by identifying new medical product opportunities and by conducting projects in collaboration with a range of relevant partners.

Medical Engineering is user-focused, taking a multidisciplinary approach and building on strong relationships with industry and the health sector. The course aims to provide you with live engineering and design experience and the tools to drive forward process, material and critical thinking in the commercial world.

You will benefit from the internationally recognised research activities in the engineering subject area which have been supported by grants from a variety of funding organisations. The engineering team has been involved with numerous international collaborative projects, and closely works with industry and the healthcare sector on different research and development schemes.

You will get direct industrial experience of the newest developments in the field through collaboration with NTU's Medical Technologies Innovation Facility (MTIF), start-up companies, the Medical Engineering Design team, and the SWIFT research group.

Work with the surgical and clinical community on live project briefs as part of a substantial existing network between NTU and our relevant partners. These links and others we have in the medical industry mean that you could collaborate and undertake a project with them.

Working with our Medical Engineering Design Research Group gives a multi-disciplinary approach to design and engineering.

The course will be seeking accreditation from the IET.

We bring brilliant minds together to crack complex issues

Problems aren't one-dimensional. By collaborating we can find the answers.

The big challenges that our world faces are complex. We are working to solve them by sharing our ideas, expertise and technology across the University and with our partners.

From tackling cancer to making our cities greener, to creating smart textiles that improve and save lives; we’re making major breakthroughs across our five key themes. And, through our thriving research culture, we’re also creating the innovators of the future who will continue to have an impact on world problems.

Making a local change, regional difference and national impact

We share our expertise with businesses. They create opportunities for our students. Everybody wins

Through our resources, talent and expertise, we help bring businesses to life. We show companies - big and small - how to innovate and grow, adding vital economic, cultural and social value on a local and national scale.

By sustaining the regional economy, we are creating local opportunities for student employment and boosting graduate retention in the region. We also work with businesses to design industry-focused courses and create new routes to learning that widen participation.

We're importing industry expertise and exporting industry-ready graduates

How do we achieve high employability statistics? We make sure our students don't feel like a number

From before they set foot in our University right through to the moment they become an NTU graduate and start their first job, we're making sure nothing holds students back from achieving remarkable things.

We start from the beginning with our outreach into local schools, encouraging 30,000 pupils each year to dream big and achieve academic success. Within our own walls, we help our students stay motivated and on track using our student dashboard. We also provide gold-standard teaching, and through our links with industries, we create opportunities for volunteering, studying abroad, and work experience with every course.

We're proud of what we've done so far. But we're prouder of what our students go on to do

We've already achieved so much this year. But we're only getting started

Our achievements show that we can deliver. But none of this happens by chance.

Everything we do is carefully planned - from outreach to schools, through support to specific student groups, to employers, we know what works.
