Medical Instrumentation (901H1)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

Medical Instrumentation is at the core of modern medicine and is an invaluable asset for our healthcare system.

We will study the most common medical instrumentation as case studies to learn how to design new instrumentations for diagnostic and therapeutic as well as learn the challenges involved in managing it on the field.

Alongside the traditional instrumentation (such as ultrasound scan, x-ray machine and ventilator) widely used in clinical practice, we will introduce cutting-edge technology that is expected to become prominently used in the clinical practice in the coming years, such as medical robotics and prosthetics with neural interfaces.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2025/26. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
