The MSc in Biomedical Engineering at NUIG is a challenging but very rewarding course. Not only does it harness all aspects of your undergraduate degree to be used in the vastly growing biomedical field, but it also gives you the opportunity to be innovative, to research independently as well as work in teams and develop fundamental design and analytical skills through both design projects and a research based thesis, all of which are important to being an engineer in the industry. Along with this, the researchers and lecturers are clearly passionate and at the forefront of their research areas and this makes content easier to understand.

Entry to the MSc programme is open to individuals who have Second Class Honours, Grade 1 (H2.1), in a Level 8 engineering degree in a related discipline, or equivalent, from a recognised university or third-level college. Factors taken into account in determining admission will include the specific content of the undergraduate degree (with a particular focus on prior learning in engineering/mathematics/physics), the applicant’s performance, and the availability of places.
