A 30-credit master's applying engineering to medicine and healthcare — biomedical signals and devices, biomaterials, biofluidics and biomedical informatics — with course-only, thesis and project pathways. Prepares graduates for the medical-device and healthcare-technology sector or doctoral study.
Two pathways: thesis option (7 taught courses + 9-credit thesis) or course-only option (10 courses); students on an AUS assistantship must take the thesis option.
MBA and MBDA applicants take the GMAT or the AUS admission test; a statement of purpose is required for some programmes.
Prepares graduates for advanced roles in the regional healthcare and biotechnology sector, medical-device and instrumentation firms, and for doctoral study in biomedical engineering.
