Overview

Take a pathway that enables high-achieving students to undertake what is normally a six-year course of study in only five years. In addition to equipping you with the skills to investigate, plan, design, manufacture and maintain systems and equipment that are used in all aspects of health care, this degree includes further medical topics and more advanced topics in biomedical engineering. This degree is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of professional engineer and is recognised internationally under the Washington Accord.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours)/Master of Engineering (Biomedical) has been designed to provide a strong understanding of both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering, particularly those relevant to the systematic development of biomedical engineering systems and an awareness of social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of (biomedical) engineering. This degree includes structured engineering work experience and the ability to undertake a substantial research-oriented project.

The degree provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.

On completion of this degree students will be able to proficiently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of complex biomedical engineering systems and demonstrate a broad understanding of the biomedical engineering discipline and a deeper understanding of areas of biomedical engineering. Students will be able to develop engineering solutions appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied and apply skills adopted through the thesis and advanced discipline topics to postgraduate level research or advanced industrial investigation.

This degree prepares graduates for a career as a professional engineer. Potential occupations may include biomedical engineer, clinical engineering specialist and pathology field service engineer; potential employers may include hospital trusts, medical equipment manufacturers and universities.
