Postgraduate Degrees

The Faculty of Engineering offers a number of opportunities for postgraduate taught and research study in Bioengineering and related subjects.

The following MSc programmes are currently offered:

MSc in Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine

Contact: Dr. Ihtesham ur Rehman, Course Director, Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Email : i.u.rehman@sheffield.ac.uk

The course enables students to develop a sound knowledge and understanding of biomaterials science, engineering, regenerative medicine, and its associated specialisms, informed by the research interests of the staff and develop in students an independence of thought and a critical approach to evidence, theories and concepts, particularly in the context of biomaterials science, engineering and regenerative medicine.

MSc in Dental Materials Science

Contact: Professor Paul Hatton, School of Clinical Dentistry

Email: paul.hatton@sheffield.ac.uk

The course launched in 2012 on a full time basis only, with content that includes materials science, analytical and research techniques, structure-property relationships in dental materials, biocompatibility, and the development of new dental materials or related health technologies. The Degree of Master of Science in Dental Materials Science will be awarded after successful completion of 180 credits, to include a research project.

This course provides advanced knowledge and foster critical analysis of scientific and clinical aspects of the use of materials and related technologies in dentistry, and introduces the principles of research methodology as applied to dental materials science and related technologies used in the repair, replacement or regeneration of tissues in dentistry.

Various opportunities for research study towards a PhD or MPhil are also available. Please consult the webpages of the appropriate department and the research centres for more information.
