Course Summary

The MSc in Medical Devices Engineering is aimed at students who have undergraduate degrees in various branches of engineering and wish to apply their background knowledge and skills to the development of medical devices. The programme is interdisciplinary bringing in and developing both engineering knowledge and the biomedical applications of this knowledge. The programme will equip graduates for immediate employment within the biomedical engineering sector, both in the UK and internationally. Device regulatory aspects and biomedical ethics will be taught as underpinnings to the engineering and biomedical elements.

WHY THIS PROGRAMME

  • Biomedical Engineering is the newest division of the School of Engineering, bringing together our long-standing expertise. Research covers four themes: Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, Bionanotechnology, Rehabilitation Engineering, Biosensors and Diagnostics.
  • Biomedical Engineering has strong clinical links to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Medical device regulations for this MSc are taught by practitioners from the local NHS Medical Devices Unit.
  • Students can access the world-leading James Watt Nanofabrication facilities through the optional Nanofabrication course.
  • Accreditation from IPEM, IMEchE and IET will be applied for following the first graduating cohort.

CAREER PROSPECTS

The programme will equip graduates for immediate employment within the biomedical engineering sector, both in the UK and internationally.

Device regulatory aspects and biomedical ethics will be taught as underpinnings to the engineering and biomedical elements. This will provide an excellent foundation for careers in regulatory roles.

Modules

This course provides students with the knowledge required to perform biomedical engineering. The course is broadly divided into two halves. In the first, the students gain an understanding of the structure and function of cells and tissues and the generation of electrical signals in cells. In the second part of the course, the students are introduced to specific concepts of biomedical engineering including fluid mechanics, imaging modalities and sensors.

University information

The University of Glasgow is one of four ancient universities in Scotland, founded back in 1451. Alumni include seven Nobel Prize winners, Scotland’s First Minister and a Prime Minister, while Albert Einstein gave a seminal lecture on the theory of relativity there in 1933. The university consists of four colleges: College of Arts College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences College of Science and Engineering College of...more
