Bachelor of Science in Computing and Security Technology (BSCST) at Drexel University

Medical Robotics and Image-Guided Interventions are two technology-driven areas of medicine that have experienced significant growth and improvement over the last twenty years, due to developments of less invasive treatments.

This is a multidisciplinary field and is led by three internationally-known departments:

• the Hamlyn Centre for Medical Robotics (part of the Institute of Global Health Innovation)
• the Department of Surgery and Cancer
• the Department of Computing

All teaching and research will take place in the facilities of the Hamlyn Centre, which is supported by a major endowment from Lady Hamlyn and the Helen Hamlyn Trust, as well as a major medical robotics infrastructure grant from the Wolfson Foundation and the National Institute for Health Research.

Taught modules include a mixture of engineering and medical topics such as medical robotics and instrumentation, minimally invasive surgery, medical and surgical imaging, image guided intervention, sensing, perception and neuroergonomics.

By the end of your studies, you will have a broad general knowledge of the current technology used in clinical work, and an interdisciplinary knowledge of how to work in collaboration with surgeons to develop new technological advances.

You will also have experience in the methodology and principles of conducting research with application to clinical medicine and surgery, and the skills required to have a successful career within industry, or an academic research position such as a PhD studentship.

This course is aimed at students who have a substantial background in computing and want to study advanced computing concepts and technologies in more depth.

This taught postgraduate course offers you the opportunity to study a wide variety of topics in depth with dedicated experts.

The programme is suitable for students who are interested in a career orientated towards development and applications in industry, as well as those interested in a research career either in the industrial or academic sector.

This course specialises in the management of software development and the application of software technology to management and organisational information systems.

This taught postgraduate course is aimed at students who may not have studied computing exclusively but who have studied a considerable amount of computing already.

If you want to become a specialist in a particular area of computing, this course will provide a first crucial step towards that goal.
