Overview
Medical materials, also known as Biomaterials, is the link between technology, science and healthcare. The Medical Materials programme combines materials, design and medical knowledge and consists of core modules in Materials Science, plus specialist modules on Clinical Applications and Materials, Physiology, and Tissue Engineering. Students learn about the structure, properties and processing of materials and how which they behave in the human body.
The programme is designed to satisfy the demands of industry for medical materials specialists with enhanced engineering and design skills. Our graduates therefore possess the necessary skills and expertise to allow them to go on to develop the exciting new materials that will be essential for the future of medicine.
