Medical Engineering Design - Msc in Keele University

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.

The School embraces specialists working in Royal Stoke University Hospital, County Hospital in Stafford and specialist Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry. You therefore have the opportunity to specialise in any of the varied clinical disciplines offered at these hospitals.

The School also runs MSc courses in Biomedical Engineering and in Cell and Tissue Engineering, and an EPSRC and MRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training, ensuring a stimulating academic environment for students and many opportunities for engaging with further study and research.

AIMS OF THE COURSE

The aim of the MSc in Medical Engineering Design is to turn you into a Medical Device Designer so that you can work in this highly regulated design discipline. Students are able to major in three distinct areas, medical devices design, sustainable devices design and formal, structured design per se. Core modules introduce you, and immerse you in design methodology, design control, international medical devices regulations, auditing, risk management and risk analysis, team working, and medical device specific technical documentation. This enables students to become distinctive through specialism choices whilst maintain academic rigour through the study of formal engineering design.

The course covers mandatory medical devices standards and regulations such as ISO13485, ISO 14971, BS EN 60601, MDD, MDR and FDA CFR21.

The course contains an encouraged internship element that can contribute to a student’s future, professional engineering registration. Because the course develops your creative engineering design skills whilst maintaining the rigour of a highly regulated design environment, you will be able to transfer the skills and knowledge you develop into a range of industries. You could move into engineering design per se, or move into (for example) Intellectual Property protection (a patent lawyer for example); technical sales; consultancy; or corporate finance. It is, in addition, an ideal stepping-stone into research and development activities in either industry or in academia.

The unique aspects of this course are that staff with direct, relevant industrial experience teach the core modules in medical devices design. Furthermore, a field trip is planned* in November of each year to coincide with the World’s largest medical device trade fair, MEDICA (see Additional Costs tab).
