Overview

Advances in biological science and demand for technological solutions are creating new opportunities for engineers. Engineering is being transformed as it fuses with developments in biomedical science.

Monash has pioneered this emerging field, for example Monash Vision Group's work on the bionic eye and our new 4D lung-imaging method. Join our scientists and engineers in developing the latest biomedical innovations and improving lives.

In this course you combine one of five engineering disciplines with anatomy, biochemistry, clinical medicine, epidemiology and preventative medicine, genetics, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, physiology and psychology. This will give you the skills you need to help solve challenging medical problems.

You'll showcase your biomedical and engineering knowledge in a final project. Graduates can then choose from an abundance of rewarding and exciting career options here and overseas.
