The Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours) requires four years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time).
The course is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
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.
The course has been designed to provide graduates with:
The course 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 the award, students will be able to:
On completion of the Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours), students will be eligible for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
To qualify for the Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours), a student must complete 144 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.
This award has two recommended sequences:
These recommended sequences indicate sensible progressions that will satisfy pre-requisites. However, students are free to select topics from either sequence subject to meeting topic pre-requisites.
