--tojpeg_1476287535340_x2.jpg)
The MRes in Medical Device Design and Entrepreneurship (MDDE) will prepare you for an innovative research career in Bioengineering. The programmes capitalises on the strength of the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial alongside the access to a number of local hospitals through the Imperial NHS trust, London's reputation as a financial hub and the growing medical device and broader health innovation sector.
This was the first medical device entrepreneurship programme in the UK, and was developed from the need for more medical device activity. There is also a need to enhance the opportunities for technologies developed as a result of research to emerge successfully into patient application.

Course overview
The programme takes a project-based approach in a specific area of bioengineering research with the bulk of the training taking place in year-long group projects aimed at developing an engineering developmental and startup business plan around a medical device concept.
Students are required to attend departmental seminars as well as a selection of other seminars throughout College. They will also attend lectures from the MSc Biomedical Engineering programme.
Imperial College London works closely with employers and industry, including Industrial Advisory Panels to design Master’s courses, providing graduates with technical knowledge, expertise and transferable skills and students with opportunities to undertake internships and placements.
All Master's courses are designed with employer needs in mind with some being accredited by Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies. Most Master’s courses offer an opportunity to carry out research projects in industry.
