Biomedical Engineering

About this course

Biomedical engineering sits at the intersection of medicine and engineering, applying mathematical and physical principles to the challenges of human health. From diagnostic imaging to prosthetic limbs, from heart valves to wearable biosensors, the discipline converts biological understanding into devices, systems and treatments that improve and extend lives. It is one of the fastest-growing areas of modern engineering, driven by ageing populations, rising chronic disease burdens and rapid advances in materials science and computing. Studying biomedical engineering at the University of Glasgow, you will develop a rigorous grounding in engineering fundamentals alongside a deep engagement with anatomy, physiology and clinical contexts. You will explore topics such as biomechanics, bioelectronics, medical imaging, tissue engineering and signal processing, learning to analyse complex biolog
