Online Clinical Engineering Degree :: Accredited Universities

The introduction, for the first time in the UK, of this MSc in Clinical Engineering will give those working in the field, whether as Engineers, Scientists, Doctors, Nurses or Managers, the opportunity to develop and advance their knowledge of clinical engineering within a formalised educational framework.
The course has accreditation with the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine.

Course Description
This is a structured distance-learning package for clinical and healthcare technologists who wish to develop their expertise at postgraduate level but who do not wish to disturb their career by taking time out. It is run jointly by staff at the Cathays and Heath Park campuses.

The aim of the course is to provide clinical and healthcare technologists with the engineering grounding and the specialised skills required to succeed in their profession. The taught material is delivered during Year 1 and Year 2 of the programme.

Topics covered on the course include:

Clinical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Medical Aspects
Mathematics and Statistics
Electronics and Instrumentation
Assessment is carried out through coursework and examination.

Entry Requirements

Suitable for graduates in Engineering, Physics and related disciplines employed in the healthcare sector and mature students with suitable qualifications and experience.

An upper second class Honours UK degree (or equivalent) from a British or recognised overseas university is required. Applicants with relevant professional experience are also considered.

Applicants whose first language is not English will be required to pass either IELTS/TOEFL exams, for which the minimum requirement is an IELTS score of 6.5 or a TOEFL iBT of 90. Please see our English language requirements for more information.

Other Fees

UK & EU Dissertation fee: £2,124

The online Imaging MSc at The University of Edinburgh is aimed at those interested in imaging sciences, light microscopy, preclinical imaging and clinical imaging (including speciality courses in Cardio-Thoracic, Oncology and Inflammation Imaging). The online delivery method allows materials to be taken at a pace defined by you, the individual student i.e. as credit-bearing courses towards a 3 year, part-time MSc or stand alone, for Continuous Professional Development or vocational training purposes.

The programme integrates the University’s rich and multidisciplinary imaging educational opportunities and provides a tailored imaging learning experience targeted at the diverse needs and interests of students with backgrounds in clinical medicine (Radiology, Radiography, Surgery, Medicine and Veterinary medicine); basic sciences & engineering (Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Physics, Engineering, Chemistry, Light Microscopy, Preclincal / Animal based research and Pharmacology); and Information Technology (Image Processing, Image Analysis, Computer science, Informatics, and Infometrics).

The programme is delivered entirely online using a combination of online tuition, multimedia interactive learning materials, peer- to-peer discussion and independent study. A professional team of experts and e-learning technologists will support your progress.

Entry Requirements

An undergraduate degree, with an excellent or very good classification (equivalent to first or upper second class honours in the UK), in the fields of radiology, radiography, surgery, medicine and veterinary medicine, biology, biomedical sciences, physics, engineering, chemistry, light microscopy, preclinical / animal based research, pharmacology, image processing, image analysis, computer science, informatics, and infometrics.

This programme is delivered by the Institute of Motion Analysis & Research within the Department of Orthopaedic & Trauma Surgery at the TORT Centre.
In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, to reflect the multi-disciplinary aspect of the research carried out, the respective staff at IMAR were returned into Unit of Assessment 25 (General Engineering - Biomedical Engineering) and Unit of Assessment 8 (Primary Care and Other Community Based Clinical Subjects) where 90% and 85% of our quality profile was deemed of international class. This is an excellent outcome taking into consideration that IMAR was only established in 2003.
