The combined degrees program of Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours), Bachelor of Medical Science requires the completion of a minimum of 198 units of study (five-and-a-half years of full-time study or the equivalent part-time).
Students who commence, but subsequently do not wish to complete, the combined degrees program may be eligible to transfer to either the Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours) or the Bachelor of Medical Science and to receive credit for some, or all, of the topics already completed.
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
Successful completion of either SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Specialist Mathematics or Mathematical Methods or equivalent International Baccalaureate subjects is normally required for entry. Knowledge of SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Physics is assumed.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours), Bachelor of Medical Science a student must complete 198 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic with:
