Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering involves the application of engineering principles and methods to problems in medicine and healthcare. Through the application of engineering techniques we can gain a greater understanding of the human body, from the single cell up to the system level. Sophisticated engineering methods can be used to extract information from biological signals that help understand healthy physiological systems and the changes that occur in disease, thereby improving early diagnosis and intervention strategies. Electronic and Electrical engineering is also fundamental to the development of new technologies that can interact with the human body including neuromodulation therapies based on electrical stimulation of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, neuroprostheses and wireless monitoring of physiological signals. Advancements in communication systems and sensor technologies are opening up new ways of monitoring and interpreting patient data.

There will be an emphasis on independent learning and research, with the opportunity to participate in a work placement either in the medical technologies industry, a clinical environment or with a research group in UCD. You will work with staff and researchers at UCD who have extensive experience in ground-breaking biomedical engineering research.

You will also develop a knowledge of how the medical device industry is regulated and how new products are introduced to the market, drawing from experience within UCD which includes pioneering companies such as BiancaMed. Upon graduation from the Biomedical Engineering Masters degree at UCD you will have the knowledge and experience to position you to follow a career in the medical devices and technologies industry or to pursue PhD research in biomedical engineering.

The ME programme in Biomedical Engineering is designed for students who have completed the BSc undergraduate programme or who hold a good Bachelors Degree (typically II.I minimum) in Engineering.
