博士学位是一个三到四年的研究密集型项目，产生一篇原创的研究和论文。本系的研究涵盖多个领域，并与帝国理工学院的几个系以及国内和国际领先的研究机构进行合作。核心研究领域包括生物力学和力学生物学，检测，设备，设计，植入和再生医学，分子和细胞生物工程，神经工程和人类和生物机器人。

我们鼓励博士生与不同领域的研究人员互动，通常由其他部门的学者共同指导。这种跨学科培训培养了与来自各种学术背景的工程师、临床医生和科学家合作所需的知识能力和实践技能。

Throughout this section you can find all the essential information you'll need as a PhD or MD(Res) student in the Department of Bioengineering.

Please also consult the doctoral student handbook, which contains key information to support you during your time in the Department, from key resources available and how to navigate difficulties affecting your academic or personal life to details of the degree programme and beyond. Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the contents of the handbook as soon as possible.

Admission Requirements

博士项目申请的2份重要的文件分贝是：PS个人陈述（或者叫SOP学习动机信）和研究计划的写作（ RP）,其中PS 个人陈述写作框架：

Part 1. 你的目标专业是什么?为什么要申请这个专业?你对目标专业的理解是怎样的？你为何能匹配这个专业？

Part 2.高中/本科/硕士的学习科目，掌握技能和取得的成绩。

Part 3.课外活动和实习经历以及工作经历。

Part 4: 为什么申请这个学校？ 为什么要申请这个大学的这个专业？

Part 5. 职业规划（不同目标专业的职业规划）短期目标&长期目标

1, Biology is so ample that researchers can hardly reach a consensus in a number of questions, including how nucleus, the brain of cells, transmits information and directs the organelles to work together. It was precisely because I could not find the exact answer that it inspired my curiosity in entering the field of biology, chemistry as well as physics originally.

2,Experience accumulated from a large number of past experiments could be the “experiences” in concluding the development of chemistry.Organic chemistry has contributed to revealing the mechanism of life activities, and researchers have already done considerable research on this. During my undergraduate, experimental courses contain a wealth of research techniques, including NMR, IR, UV, TLC, X-ray diffraction, and so on. Although there are many methods to study molecules, people still lack knowledge of life at the molecules scale. In order to find the essence of life, I want to further integrate these chemical technologies into the biological field.

3,My academic plans are not separated, but systematically line up in a rather logic manner. What’s more, being eager to seek challenge during my undergraduate study, I got the precious chance of conducting two projects. The first one is a study of a new material called MXene in Institute of Advanced Materials (IAM) in XX University. We studied the properties of a new kind of two-dimensional material and invented a new synthesis method of MXene quantum dots through oxidation. We analyzed their fluorescence performance and tried to apply this quantum dots to biological imaging technology. The second one is X-ray crystal field characterization technician project. During the process, I spent a lot of time self-studying the basic theories and also downloaded data processing software to my computer so as to practice many times. Successfully, I learned how to select crystal samples, prepare samples, collect data to process and analyze them to work out the crystal structure by software such as APEX3 and Olex2.

Many of our Doctoral courses do not have a formal closing date – we have rolling start dates throughout the year depending on the department you wish to join.

根据本系的不同前辈，我们的博士毕业生中进入学术界的比例最大。这并不奇怪，因为直到最近，我们一直是一个以研究为导向的部门。然而，越来越多的博士毕业生进入了工业和研发领域。我们的毕业生遍布世界各地的企业、研究机构和卫生服务机构。他们也在建立自己的初创企业。生物工程师工作的领域包括:

• 医疗技术行业
• 大学研究部门
• 医学和医疗
• 创业
• 一般工程
• 计算机与信息技术
• 金融及专业服务
• 管理咨询公司
• 教学

1, 博士申请中有极少数特别优秀的本科生被录取，通常他们来自于顶级大学以及该专业内的最高排名的学生，如国内的985大学，中国药科大学等。

2，大部分录取的硕士生的GPA都保持在3.5分，雅思7分（托福100分），具备较好的并可被证明的学术经历和科研经历。

3，如果学生实在没有科研经历的话，一般不会被录取。在征得教授基本认可的前提下，就可以开展一些准备工作，甚至一些自费的科研项目等。
