- Study in Glasgow, a globally recognised hub where healthcare, industry, and academia converge. This unique triple helix ecosystem also extends to public and government involvement.
- Placement Opportunities - gain valuable experience through your final project placements with NHS bodies, government organisations, and leading MedTech companies.
- Explore the entire MedTech Innovation lifecycle: identify unmet clinical needs → design & develop solutions → navigate regulations → implement in healthcare systems → commercialise and scale.
- You will culminate your MSc with the Innovation Day, a prestigious showcase where you will be given the opportunity to pitch your project to key stakeholders across the MedTech sector, including NHS leaders, investors, and industry executives, with the opportunity to apply to various MedTech funding schemes offered by the University of Glasgow.
- This programme will be co-delivered by our World Changing partners:
- West of Scotland Innovation Hub (WoSIH): Driving health and social care transformation by connecting NHS, academia, and industry to accelerate real-world innovation.
- NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde: Europe’s largest integrated health board, delivering cutting-edge healthcare and fostering clinical innovation for over 1.2 million people.

Working with clinicians, academics, patients and commercial collaborators in healthcare innovation there was an obvious gap in educational opportunities. I am so excited to share the MedTech Innovation Masters programme which covers healthcare innovation opportunity identification and end to end evidence generation as part of a route to get MedTech products safely to market. Only by supporting the co-development of digital, data, AI and medical devices with clinical services and the public, can we harness the power of technology to improve our clinical services for the benefit of our patients and NHS staff.
