With unparalleled access to our National Health Service (NHS) hospitals, our students will develop a deep appreciation of healthcare delivery and quality improvement processes to apply their knowledge for developing novel medical technologies and a fulfilling career as a MedTech entrepreneur, innovator, consultant, advisor or a leader in the medical technology industry. The MSc is delivered jointly by King’s Business School,the Faculty of Medicine and Life Science’s School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences, and the King’s Entrepreneurship Institute.
