MEng Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering is a dynamic and rapidly growing field designed to tackle the healthcare challenges of tomorrow. The MEng degree at Strathclyde offers a unique mix of mechanical, electrical, and biomedical engineering, providing you with comprehensive training in human anatomy, physiology, and biosciences.

This degree holds accreditation from the Institute of Physics & Engineering in Medicine, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and the Institution of Engineering & Technology, ensuring it meets the academic standards required for Chartered Engineer (CEng) registration.

Course Overview:

Years 1 & 2: You'll build a strong foundation in essential engineering principles, including mathematics, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering, while also diving into the basics of biomedical science, such as anatomy and molecular bioscience. Most of your classes will be shared with fellow engineers and biomedical scientists.

Year 3: Here, you'll start applying what you've learned to specific areas within biomedical engineering, like biomechanics and biomaterials, while further enhancing your grasp of core engineering subjects.

Year 4: This year is all about focusing on your individual research project, where you'll receive training in research methods, professional studies, ethics, and quality management.

Year 5: You'll collaborate on a significant group project, honing your teamwork and management skills, while exploring advanced topics such as medical device design and tissue engineering.
