Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Materials Science and Engineering)/Master of Biomedical Engineering
University of New South Wales - Sydney - Kensington
Overview
If you're passionate about biomedical engineering and want to build a career in this field, this double degree is ideal for you. It combines the technical knowledge of Materials Science and Engineering with specialised postgraduate training in Biomedical Engineering.
The Materials Science and Engineering component focuses on studying the structure, properties and performance of metals, polymers ceramics, composites, and bio-inspired materials for use in biomedical, health and other applications of benefit to society. The Biomedical Engineering component utilises these principles to create new technologies and solve problems in various healthcare-related fields. You'll explore exciting fields such as implantable bionics, drug delivery systems, medical imaging, orthopaedic devices, telemedicine, robotic surgery, cell and tissue engineering, physical rehabilitation, and more.
With this double degree, you'll be equipped to make a positive impact on the world of biomedical engineering, helping improve people's health and well-being through innovative technologies and solutions.
On completion of this five-year program, you'll earn two separate degrees: a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering and a Master of Biomedical Engineering.
