COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Medical Electronics & Digital Health at the University of Galway requires students to complete 90 ECTS credits in Year 1. Curriculum information relates to the current academic year and module offerings may be subject to change. Students must accumulate the required credits by selecting modules across Semester 1 and Semester 2, including a substantial project component and a range of technical and interdisciplinary options.A central feature of the program is the Medical Electronics and Digital Health Project (EE5106), worth 30 credits, which enables students to undertake an advanced individual research or development project. This project strengthens practical skills in system design, prototyping, data analysis, and innovation within digital health and connected medical technologies.Semester 1 offers a broad suite of optional modules that build foundations in embedded systems, signal processing, and healthcare technologies. These include Embedded Image Processing (EE551), UX Design for Wearable Electronics (EE5126), Digital Signal Processing (EE445), Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Applications (EE4104), Introduction to Biostatistics (ST314), Mobile Networks: Architecture and Services (EE4101), Applied Circuit Design for Medical Electronics (EE5105), Internet of Things Systems Design (EE5127), and Fundamentals of Physiology (SI2103). Students may also choose modules that enhance professional and interdisciplinary competencies such as Financial Management I (AY872), Technology Innovation & Entrepreneurship (ME432), Research Methods for Engineers (ME521), Lean Systems (IE450), Project Management (IE446), Safety Engineering (ME4105), Introduction to Sustainability 1 (BSS2103), and Human Body Structure (AN230).In Semester 2, students can further specialise through modules such as Bioinstrumentation Design (EE502), Embedded Machine Vision (EE5104), Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Digital Health (EE5107), Digital Twins for Robotics (EE5108), Robotic Control, Navigation and Locomotion (EE5109), Computer and Network Security (CT4104), and Introduction to Sustainability 2 (BSS2104).
