The Kent Institute of Medicine and Health Sciences (KIMHS) at the University
of Kent has established a new MSc programme in Biomedical Imaging (BMI). The
programme is the result of joint collaboration between five departments in
the University of Kent and two Departments in King's College London.
The course covers the major forms of imaging including MRI, PET, ultrasound,
CT, X-ray, and the rapidly advancing fields of optical and molecular
imaging. There is special emphasis on the use of computer techniques for
manipulation and analysis of images, with modules on programming and medical
image computing. Visiting lecturers include international authorities in the
field. The programme includes lectures on applications of biomedical
imaging given by leading clinicians from East Kent and London, industry
scientists and bioscience researchers, case studies, laboratory work and
visits to major facilities to see the imaging systems in action.
The BMI programme prepares graduates from a range of disciplines for a
career in biomedical imaging, medical image computing, or in the application
of medical imaging within their original professional field. It provides a
solid grounding in advanced medical imaging systems including up-to-date
coverage of commercially relevant topics. It develops a range of skills that
are highly sought after by employers. It also prepares graduates for
advanced research in the area and is an ideal grounding for a subsequent
PhD.
Applicants with a First or Second Class Honours degree, or equivalent
qualifications, in one of the related fields can apply for the BMI MSc. The
appropriate degrees include Computing, Physics, Biomedical or Electronic
Engineering, Mathematics or Statistics, Biosciences and Medicine.
