Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Applications
About This Course
This biomaterial course focusses on polymers used in medical devices, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering. Designed for science and engineering professionals, the curriculum covers polymer synthesis, physicochemical and biological characterisation, and material selection strategies. In the application-centric approach of the course, real-world case studies have been incorporated to illustrate performance optimisation and application in healthcare. This course also addresses commercialisation, clinical translation, and regulatory compliance, equipping learners for biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and biomedical engineering careers. Learners will enhance their expertise in biomedical polymers, biomaterials innovation, and healthcare technology with this industry-relevant course.
As this micro-credential course is only offered in the FlexiMasters in Biomedical Engineering Principles and Practices programme, learners are required to enrol in and complete all required courses within this programme.
What You'll Learn
1. Apply biomaterial concepts and principles in selecting materials for different applications in medical devices, drug delivery systems and tissue engineering.
2. Identify and describe issues related to commercialisation, clinical translation and regulatory issues related to biomaterial applications.
3. Analyse and critically evaluate biomaterial literature and utilise the literature in the evaluation of biomaterials and their applications.
Entry Requirements
No pre-requisites are needed to enrol in the course; however, learners without qualifications or work experience in relevant engineering or the related fields may find the course contents challenging.
Note: Shortlisting will be conducted.
