How to Apply

The deadlines for the DPhil and MSc (R) courses are 16 November 2012, 18 January and 8 March 2013.

Overseas applicants are strongly advised to apply by the January deadline in order to meet scholarship deadlines, and Home/EU applicants are advised to consult the Engineering Science website for information on EPSRC studentships.

Other scholarships with specific closing dates may also be advertised at the same location.

The standard set of materials you should send with any application to a research course comprises:

The research proposal for applicants to the DPhil and MSc (R) in Engineering should be at least one A4 page in length. You should give a brief indication of your research interests, covering how your background and experience relate to the areas of your intended research and how this will affect your aims for the future, covering areas such as the background to the research, methodology, expected results & the contribution to the field of learning.

Please also give the names of at least 3 supervisors, in order of preference, in the proposal.

Please follow the detailed instructions in the Application Guide, and consult the Engineering Science website for any additional guidance.

Taught programmes

MSc in Biomedical Engineering

Course Code | 003470 

This 12-month, full-time course is aimed at graduates with a good first degree in engineering or the physical sciences to prepare them for careers in biomedical engineering in industry, healthcare (including the UK National Health Service) and research. Successful applicants will ordinarily hold a first class undergraduate degree.

The MSc consists of lecture courses on core general biomedical engineering and advanced topics. Lectures and classes are complemented by laboratory sessions and a team project. Students will also learn about the healthcare industry via lectures and assignments.

A major part of the MSc is a dissertation on an individual research project undertaken in one of the research areas of the Oxford Institute for Biomedical Engineering. Students will also be trained in computational methods and research skills.

How to Apply

The deadlines for the MSc are 16 November 2012, 18 January and 8 March 2013. Overseas applicants are strongly advised to apply by the January deadline in order to meet scholarship deadlines.

Other scholarships with specific closing dates may also be advertised at the same location.

The standard set of materials you should send with any application to a taught course comprises:

The statement of purpose for applicants to the MSc in Biomedical Engineering should include an explanation of how your academic/research background relates to your proposed study and career plans.

Please note that, unless given as a condition by a supervisor making an offer, you should not submit written work with your application to this course.

Please follow the detailed instructions in the Application Guide, and consult the Engineering Science website for any additional guidance.

Academic resources

The Engineering Computing Support Group, departmental mechanical and electronic workshops, the Radcliffe Science Library and other University libraries. Extensive experimental facilities are also available as appropriate to the research topic.

Graduate destinations

Graduate study in engineering prepares graduates for a wide variety of careers in research, industry and commerce.
