Overview

The rapidly developing and rewarding field of biomedical technology involves engineering, constructing and operating medical devices. Graduates can go on to work as engineers in the medical device industry, producing the next generation of devices such as prosthetics, through to specialists working in healthcare operating and maintaining equipment for diagnosis and treatment.

We also offer you introductory as well as specialist modules such as regulatory quality management (ISO 13485), biomaterials, biosensors. In the final term, you will complete an industrial placement and have the opportunity to work on industry relevant individual projects.

Job Prospects

Graduates of the Biomedical Technology offered at the Robert Gordon University would typically work as research and development engineers or design engineers in the medical device industry producing the next generation of devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, ECG systems and prosthetics, right through to specialists working in hospitals/the National Health Service (NHS) to operate and maintain sophisticated equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. Graduates are required in four important sectors that includes:

The medical device and pharmaceutical industry
Hospital trusts (e.g. NHS)
Government and regulatory agencies (European Medicines Agency (EMA),Food and Drug Administration (FDA))
Universities
