Develop the skills to apply engineering principles to real-world healthcare challenges, from medical devices to data-driven diagnosis and treatment.
This MSc combines engineering, life sciences and clinical insight to give you both technical depth and practical understanding of modern biomedical engineering.
You’ll learn how technologies move from research to clinical use, with insight from academics, clinicians and industry. Teaching is informed by our strong research base and delivered by academics alongside industrialists, clinicians and visiting experts from the UK and overseas.
You’ll gain insights into real clinical needs and industrial environments, and build professional connections for your future career through the department’s strong connections with industry and the NHS.
Choose from six specialist pathways to focus your degree in areas such as AI, medical devices, biomechanics or regenerative medicine.
Designed for graduates from both life sciences and engineering backgrounds, all pathways provide:
On each of the pathways, you'll study the same core modules in fundamental biomedical engineering alongside modules related to your specialism.
The table below provides an 'at-a-glance' summary of each pathway or you can explore each pathway in detail ↓
Accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM)
For the core MSc Biomedical Engineering, you'll study a selection of taught compulsory and elective modules totalling 120 credits.
For the five pathway options, you'll study the same taught compulsory modules, alongside focused specialist pathway and other elective modules, totalling 120 credits.
Passing all the modules allows you to progress to the MSc project (60 credits), which is undertaken between May and August. MSc projects involve an in-depth investigation on a topic of your choosing.
Build a broad understanding of biomedical engineering, combining engineering principles with biomedical science and clinical applications.
This flexible pathway supports careers across medical technology, healthcare systems, research and multidisciplinary engineering roles.
Apply artificial intelligence and data-driven methods to healthcare challenges, including medical imaging, robotics and analytics.
You’ll develop practical skills across the AI pipeline, preparing you for roles in a fast-growing area of healthcare technology.
Design and develop medical devices, from concept through to clinical application, including robotics, electronics and cardiovascular technologies.
You’ll gain insight into regulatory frameworks and product development, preparing you for roles in the medical technology industry and R&D.
Explore the mechanics of biological flows, with applications in cardiovascular systems, respiratory function and drug delivery.
You’ll develop skills in fluid dynamics and computational modelling, supporting careers in advanced healthcare engineering and research.
Study the science behind tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, including biomaterials, cell culture and biofabrication.
This pathway opens opportunities in biotechnology, pharmaceutical research and emerging areas of regenerative healthcare.
Analyse human movement and biomechanics, with applications in rehabilitation, prosthetics, orthotics and sports performance.
You’ll gain a strong foundation in patient-centred design, preparing for roles in rehabilitation engineering and healthcare technology.
Gain the knowledge and skills to develop new technologies that improve healthcare, from medical devices and diagnostics to data-driven and regenerative solutions.
At Strathclyde, you’ll study in one of the world's longest-established Biomedical Engineering departments, where teaching is shaped by world-leading research and close collaboration with clinicians, the NHS and industry.
Academic requirements/experience Normally a first or second-class UK honours degree or international equivalent, in a relevant engineering, physical science, medicine, life science or a profession allied to medicine. Given the programme structure for January entry, those with a life science degree will require a satisfactory level of mathematics/engineering/physical sciences experience. Applicants with a life science degree background seeking January entry are encouraged to email the Engineering Admissions Team before applying for further advice.
