The Centre for Biomedical Engineering at Edinburgh is an initiative to bring together the broad range of scientists, engineers, clinicians and informaticians working in this field across the university and beyond. It carries out leading-edge research, provides workshops and seminars, and educates through taught undergraduate and MSc programmes. A range of research PhD opportunities are available. The symbol morphing a gear wheel into a biological cell denotes the transfer of knowledge from Engineering to Biology, but should be read both ways. We offer an MSc in Bioelectronics, and an MSc in Biomechanics. Click on the ‘teaching’ tab for more details. webmaster andy.downes@ed.ac.uk
