Overview

The Medical Engineering Design and Innovation course from Keele University builds on our internationally-leading reputation for medical engineering and longstanding expertise in medical devices. Taking you to the next level of design competence, it will equip you with essential product design skills and the confidence to approach design problems as a professional engineering designer throughout the product development life cycle.

In the highly-regulated MedTech development industry, accuracy and safety sit at the heart of good engineering design – failure can cause serious harm to users and damage commercial prospects. Developing your understanding of the concepts that underpin medical device design, you’ll focus on the approval process from the beginnings of product ideation and initial concepts right through to testing and release to market.

Career opportunities:

The prevalence of chronic health conditions, such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, has led to a rise in patients requiring diagnostic and surgical intervention and the medical devices to support this, fuelling the demand for medical engineers and designers.

The global medical devices market is projected to grow from US $455.34 billion in 2021 to US $657.98 billion in 2028, with leading market players, like Johnson & Johnson, Novartis AG, Abbott Laboratories, Medtronic investing billions in R&D.

General requirements

This is a “conversion” course and therefore you need not have an engineering degree to apply. You must have a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) based degree, but that could be anything from Biomedical Science, through Forensic Science, to Computer Science.

We welcome applications with a first or second-class degree (or equivalent) in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) discipline. We also welcome enquiries from people with other professional qualifications acceptable to the University.

We recommend applicants discuss their first degree with the course tutor before applying to ensure that this course meets personal aspirations.
