BEng Biomedical Engineering (in partnership with Tianjin University)

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of Glasgow

Program Overview

Biomedical Engineering is all about merging engineering principles with medical and biological sciences to tackle healthcare issues. It brings together elements of physics, computer science, and biology to create technologies aimed at preventing, diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating diseases. This program works closely with Tianjin University’s biomedical engineering education. 

  • The MEng option is available and  allows you to extend your studies to a total of 5 years.
  • In the first two years, students engage in programs at Tianjin University that align with mechanical, precision instrument, electrical, and microelectronics engineering.
  • By the third year, students dive into advanced topics like biological fluid mechanics, biomechanics, medical imaging, instrumentation, control, and human biological sciences.
  • During the fourth and fifth years, Year 4 includes a project where MEng students take on a multidisciplinary design challenge. In Year 5, they wrap up their studies with a research-based project, which can take place in an industry setting, a hospital, or even at another university.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

  • In the 4th year of the BEng program, you'll dive into a project that makes up a significant one-third of your studies for the year.
  • Meanwhile, students who opt for MEng will tackle a multidisciplinary design project in their fourth year. 
  • As an MEng student in your fifth year, you'll embark on a comprehensive research-based project, which could take place in an industry setting, a hospital, or even at another university. 

Progression & Future Opportunities

  • Pursue a career in medical device development, clinical engineering, biomechanics, biomaterials, rehabilitation engineering, or pharmaceutical technology.

  • Opportunities in industries such as healthcare, medical imaging, diagnostics, prosthetics, and wearable health technologies.

  • Further academic study through taught master's degrees (e.g., MSc Biomedical Engineering, MSc Medical Physics), research degrees (MPhil/PhD), or medical school entry for qualified candidates.

  • Potential to register as a Chartered Engineer (CEng) with an accredited MEng or appropriate combination of BEng and MSc, enhancing professional standing.

  • Entrepreneurial opportunities in health-tech startups or innovation hubs focused on biomedical solutions.
