Medicine and Surgery 'MedTech' (LM-41)

Surgeon

This is a highly demanding course which will open many career opportunities across numerous medical fields.

> It offers a unique opportunity to integrate different knowledge and skills in medicine with engineering.

> In addition to the medical curriculum, students will acquire know-how in a variety of technical fields: artificial intelligence, big data, tissue engineering, biomaterials and bioprinting, nanotechnologies, electronics, biomedical and surgical robotics, virtual and augmented reality.

> Some of our classes are shared with Engineering students to encourage cross-fertilisation.
