The MSc in MedTech Innovation and Entrepreneurship brings together talented students and professionals from diverse backgrounds across the spectrum of health, engineering, design, business and entrepreneurship, who are committed to creating innovation in health and making the world a healthier place. The programme builds on King’s and the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering (LIHE)’s strengths across healthcare, health research, healthcare technologies, design, engineering, business and entrepreneurship to teach both crucial business knowledge and know-how in developing novel medical technologies that address unmet clinical needs. The course is taught at King's Business School, housed in the historic Bush House and the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine (FoLSM), at the brand new LIHE, an institution committed to advancing MedTech innovations to market. Situated inside our clinical partner St Thomas’ Hospital, our students will benefit from a dynamic network cultivated within LIHE, where critical stakeholders, including MSc students and teachers, experts, spin-outs, SMEs, and multinational partners converge. 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.
