The MEngSt allows students with academic engineering backgrounds to expand their existing theoretical and practical skills.

What can you study in Medical Devices and Technologies?

A Master of Engineering Studies in Medical Devices and Technologies complements your background in engineering, medicine or science with knowledge in medical devices technology and practice. 

The courses the university offers are lecture-based, delivered as modules. They are taught by specialists throughout the University, as well as guests working in relevant organisations. This ensures that the university meets the needs of students from both industry and academic backgrounds.

The university covers topics such as:

• Aspects of medical device design
• Future needs in the medical industry, as identified by the World Health Organization
• Clinical assessments of medical devices
• Implementation of regulations surrounding device design
• Risks, quality control and ethical issues in industry and throughout the development process

Taught 120 points:

You must have completed a four-year bachelors degree in engineering at a recognised university (or similar institution), in a field similar to your intended specialisation, that includes:

• Broad coverage in your first year of the foundational science topics that underpin engineering disciplines: mathematical modelling, chemical and materials science, electrical engineering theory, mechanics, programming, and engineering design.
• One year of postgraduate-level study
• A research project or dissertation comprising at least one-quarter of the final year.

You will need a GPE of 4.0 (65%-69.9%).

You may also qualify for this programme if you have completed appropriate health professional qualifications that lead to registration as a clinician. This generally includes the completion of an approved bachelors degree, along with three years of relevant professional experience.

Other pathways to study

If you do not meet the GPE requirement, you can still gain entry by passing 60 points towards the Postgraduate Certificate in Engineering with a GPA of 4.0.

In exceptional circumstances, the university will consider you for entry if you have completed an undergraduate degree and have three years of work experience in engineering.
