Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering are two partially overlapping but distinct fields of study and work.
Bioengineering is a science-based discipline focused on biology and creates a connection between biology and engineering. It sets out to apply the scientific knowledge to relevant problems in an effective and efficient way. Biomimetic is the sub-discipline of Bioengineering that deals with the transfer of biological models and systems to the design of machines and materials. Systems Biology is another sub-discipline that utilizes the engineering knowledge to discover structures, functions and operation methods of biological systems.
Biomedical Engineering is concerned with applying the biological science to medical innovation and bridges the gap between engineering and medicine with the purpose of improving the healthcare area. Amazing progress and development has been made in the fields of diagnosis and therapy thanks to the newly established discipline of Biomedical Engineering through the production of advanced medical equipment and devices that incorporate the biological dimension. Bio prostheses, micro implants, imaging machinery like the MRI and tissue growth are some of the notable achievements of this study field. Bringing engineering to a new level, Biomedical Engineering offers unlimited research, development and growth perspectives.
Application deadline coming VERY soon: APPLY NOW! The Joint Doctorate Program on Photonics Engineering, Nanophotonics and Biophotonics is dedicated to address recent challenges of one of the most expanding fields in physics and material sciences.
The Universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Exeter together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HR-Wallingford have formed a partnership to deliver the RCUK/ETI Industrial Doctorate Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE).
NOWNANO builds on the world-leading expertise in all nanoscience within Manchester and Lancaster universities to offer a broad interdisciplinary doctoral training centre (DTC). PhD students receive initial training that shows them the breadth and potential of nanoscience, before they focus on mastering one specific area of the subject. NOWNANO DTC offers many extra opportunities compared to traditional PhD, such as student conferences, joint events with other DTCs, innovation and commercialisation training, and outreach events. All these contribute to building a group of outstanding scientists that will help to lead world research in nanoscience in the future.
This programme will certificate you with a: * Doctoral Programme in Biomedical Engineering * Advanced Studies (3rd cycle) in Biomedical Engineering * Biomedical Engineering Fundamentals * Biomedical Engineering * Dissertation in Biomedical Engineering * Advanced Options in Biomedical Engineering
The 3-year PhD programme comprises the research project leading to a Ph.D. thesis as well as additional compulsory modules, work-groups and optional lecture courses, all of which offer a highly challenging, useful and interesting education programme.
