Hands-on research experience on state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing test-bed incorporating both additive and subtractive processes, dependent on key enabling technologies. 2. Learn new insights in scalable innovation, value chain analyses, and laser enabled bio and electronic printing. 3. Demonstrate your research potential by applying key enabling technologies for pilot manufacturing of biomedical applications.
Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) (Structured Master’s: Re search) Your Course Enabling technologies are recognised by the European Union to be the building blocks for future product and process solutions which address many challenges facing society. The following are the six key enabling technologies: • Photonics; • Advanced Materials;
• Industrial Biotechnology; • Advanced Manufacturing; • Nanotechnology; • Micro-/Nano-Electronics.
Europe’s future competitiveness depends on how its future labour force can master key enabling technologies. This MSc programme provides hands-on experience to enable students demonstrate their research potential using key enabling technologies in advanced manufacturing. Career Opportunities Graduates from this programme find employment in advanced manufacturing industries or continue on to pursue PhD studies centred on realising the next generation of biomedical devices. The programme is strategically positioned to produce graduates capable of realising a new generation of medical and electronic devices based on biomaterials activated by electrical, optical, and thermal stimulation. Hands-on and taught modules will provide expertise in printed electronics and biomaterials giving students access to many opportunities in future medical devices, pharmaceutical devices, and tissue engineering. Minimum Entry Requirements Students with a 2.1 honours degree, or higher, in science or engineering (Level 8) will be considered for this programme.
