MSc Bioengineering
University College London (UCL)
Course Overview
UCL's MSc Bioengineering sits inside one of the UK's largest bioengineering departments, with shared infrastructure across UCL's Bloomsbury campus and the Francis Crick Institute. Core modules cover tissue engineering, medical imaging, biomaterials, and biomechanics, with electives in neural engineering, regenerative medicine, and medical devices — capped by a 3-month research dissertation embedded in an active lab.
A strong fit for Sri Lankan engineering or life-science graduates aiming at the UK medtech sector, NHS clinical engineering roles, or PhD pathways. The department has direct collaborations with UCLH, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the Royal Free — meaning real translational projects, not just textbook work.
