Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Biomedical)

Combine engineering principles with biological and medical sciences when you study this multi-disciplinary major at UOW. You will learn the vital skills to help improve peoples' lives and enable change to the national health system as you explore developments in imaging, instrumentation, robotics, biomedical scaffolding, materials engineering, computer science and prosthetics. You will study areas related to mechanical and electrical engineering, artificial intelligence (e.g. evolutionary computation, neural network, fuzzy logic, machine learning) and aspects of modern biomedical systems. You will develop a solid understanding of critical issues involved in developing biomedical systems in a global economy and significant technological contributions to biomedical systems, both in Australia and abroad.

You will study a common first year allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields before focusing on biomedical engineering from your second year onwards. The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, and materials. This degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement. You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program.
