About this course
The Department offers a one-year full-time MRes in Bioengineering, which has been developed to prepare students for a research career in bioengineering. The course involves lectures and practical work in the first term, followed by full-time work on a research project. A variety of seminars and workshops are provided to deepen and broaden students’ research skill base. The course will prepare you to analyse and solve problems in bioengineering using an integrated, multidisciplinary approach. You can also take this course as the first year of a four-year PhD programme. For further details contact the postgraduate administrator at be.phdadmissions@imperial.ac.uk
All applicants must apply online. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful. Most courses don't have a formal closing date, but popular courses close when they are full, so you should apply early to avoid disappointment. There may also be funding deadlines that apply to you. You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include...

Course programme
Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.
Please note that not all combinations of optional modules may be possible due to timetabling constraints.
You will undertake a number of modules and workshops to provide you with skills useful for your research project. These courses are largely taken in the autumn term (but may extend into the spring term if you wish to take particular options).
ModulesYou will take the following modules:
- Computational methods for bioengineering (four units)
- Statistics and data analysis (six units)
- Journal club (two units)
- Seminars (two units)
There are also optional workshop modules:
- Optical imaging techniques (two units)
- Techniques in molecular bioengineering (four units)
The modules taken will total 20 units.
Modules from the MSc in Biomedical Engineering can also be taken (four units each when taken as part of the MRes, the exam is replaced by a short report). Examples of modules include:
- Advanced medical imaging
- Biomechanics
- Brain machine interface
- Cellular biomechanics
- Computational neuroscience
- Image processing
- Biomaterials
- Machine learning and neural computation
- Neuromuscular control and learning
- Orthopaedic biomechanics
You will choose a research project within the first two weeks of the autumn term and work on it throughout the year. We encourage students to contact potential research project supervisors (see the Academic Staff page) before application, to ensure that there is a suitable project available.
You will also submit a six-page literature survey and research proposal in early January as well as continuing with the Journal Club and Seminar modules.
In the summer term you will present your preliminary research results at a departmental poster day. You will continue to work on your research projects until submission in September.
