Overview

They bring together engineering, medicine and the life and physical sciences to enable the development of relevant clinical and industrial research.

The Biomedical Engineering course at The University of Strathclyde explores advances in technology and engineering to generate applications and solutions to clinically relevant problems.

As part of the course you’ll go on visits to local clinical centres and attend lectures from industrialists and visiting experts from the UK and overseas. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet our many industrial and clinical partners to help advise and further your career.

Careers

Entry-level salaries for medical engineering technicians in the NHS range from £29,970 to £36,483 (Band 5). You can then progress to Band 6 where salaries are between £37,338 and £44,962. With significant experience, salaries can range from £46,148 to £52,809 (Band 7). Salaries may reach higher than this if head of department or consultant level is reached.

Biomedical engineers' salaries in the private sector are comparable to those in the NHS. Depending on experience and level of responsibility, they can range between £21,000 and £50,000.
