• Computational and Statistical Methods for Research
• Topics in Neural Engineering
• Frontiers in Neurotechnology Research

You choose between one and four modules from below.

Some of the below modules come from our MSc degrees, and the assessment for these modules is replaced by a short report.

You will complete a nine-month research project, normally supported by at least two academic members of staff from Imperial College. Your supervisors will be experts in their field, with a keen interest in your particular research topic and the lead supervisor based in Bioengineering. Co-supervisors may be drawn from any department across the College and you may also have a co-supervisor from industry.

Your research project will be agreed with your MRes supervisors at the time of application.

You will submit a literature review and thesis proposal in early February and present your preliminary research results as a poster in the summer. You will then continue to work on your research projects until submission of the MRes thesis in mid-September.

The research project provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your advanced knowledge and write extensively on your chosen research theme.

Our minimum requirement is a 2.1 degree in engineering or physical science.

Students from a biological or medical sciences background may be considered if they can demonstrate substantial quantitative skills.

We also accept a wide variety of international qualifications.

The academic requirement above is for applicants who hold or who are working towards a UK qualification.

For guidance see our Country Index though please note that the standards listed here are the minimum for entry to the College, and not specifically this Department.

For admission to this course, you must achieve the standard College requirement in the appropriate English language qualification. For details of the minimum grades required to achieve this requirement, please see the English language requirements for postgraduate applicants.

The Department of Bioengineering has two separate deadlines, one for students who do not require a visa/ATAS clearance, and another for students who do.

• Saturday 15 June 2019 if you require a visa/ATAS clearance to study this course, due to the time required to pursue Home Office approval for visas.

• Wednesday 31 July 2019 if you do not require a visa/ATAS clearance

Before you apply for this course, you must decide on a supervisor and agree on a research project with them. Please review the pages below which will help you in identifying a supervisor and give greater detail on the steps you need to take before making an application.

To apply for this course, you need to use our online application system.

You can submit one application form per year of entry, and usually choose up to two courses.

An ATAS certificate is required for all Non-EEA/Swiss nationals who require a visa to study in the UK.

Your Tier 4 visa application, or extension of stay, will automatically be refused if you need an ATAS certificate and cannot provide one.
For further guidance on obtaining an ATAS certificate please see the information on our International Student Support website.

Fees are charged by year of entry to the College and not year of study.

Except where otherwise indicated, the fees for students on courses lasting more than one year will increase annually by an amount linked to inflation, including for part-time students on modular programmes. The measure of inflation used will be the Retail Price Index (RPI) value in the April of the calendar year in which the academic session starts e.g. the RPI value in April 2019 will apply to fees for the academic year 2019–2020.
