Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time, 5 years flexible
This full-time MSc focuses on the design, development, and clinical application of novel rehabilitative and assistive technologies. You will work with the Aspire Create team, a group of assistive technology specialists who are engineering the next generation of these technologies, in partnership with UCL clinicians at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.
Globally, an estimated 2.4 billion people are living with a health condition that may benefit from rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is an essential part of universal health coverage. It helps people to be as independent as possible in everyday activities. It also enables participation in education, work, recreation and meaningful life roles, such as taking care of family.
Rehabilitation can be enhanced by technology. Rehabilitation engineering is a rapidly developing field with the potential to revolutionise the way people are living with the impacts of injury, illness, or ageing, and help them take back control of their lives.
This MSc Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technologies focuses on how state-of-the-art technologies, haptic devices and neuromodulation can be developed and used to restore or substitute motor function. We focus on applications to complex and challenging medical conditions such as spinal cord injuries, stroke, and neuromuscular diseases, as well as issues that arise from our ageing population.
You will develop core fundamental knowledge of these interdisciplinary subjects, as well as transferable research skills. Alongside the taught modules, you will take part in a specially tailored group research project, as well as your own project where you investigate your own research question.
Prospective students should have a minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Science (including Medicine), Engineering, Computer Science or Physics; an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard; or sufficient relevant professional experience.

UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.
This research-intensive MSc will prepare you with core fundamental knowledge and skills for the rehabilitation engineering and assistive technologies sector.
You will graduate with both technical and transferable skills, including project planning, organisation, critical analysis, and communication and teamwork skills. You will also learn practical skills of programming, devices/systems development, data analysis, static analysis, or experimental design.
Importantly, you will refine your communication skills by interacting with different audiences and learn how to pitch your arguments at the right level - a highly valued skill in any sector.
