Biomedical Engineering

Overview

We 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.

How much will I earn? 

The starting salaries for entry level medical engineering technicians in the NHS range between £23,023 to £29,608 (Band 5).

Salaries for biomedical engineers in the private sector are comparable to those in the NHS, ranging between £21,000 and £45,000 depending on experience and level of responsibility*.
