Stream Outline

The specialisation in Biomedical Engineering comprises a suite of advanced disciplinary electives, disciplinary electives, undergraduate courses in anatomy and physiology and a research component. It provides a solid postgraduate coursework program (96 UOC total), for an engineering graduate to extend their knowledge into the field of biomedical engineering.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

A student must hold a Bachelor of Engineering from UNSW with at least Honours II/2 (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline or an equivalent qualification from another recognised university or tertiary institution in order to be admitted to the program. Students can articulate from the UNSW GradDip into the MEngSc program if they achieve a 65% average.

Stream Structure

Disciplinary and foundational courses (Up to 24 UOC)

Up to 24 UOC of disciplinary courses are selected from relevant disciplines such as Electrical, Chemical, and Mechanical Engineering on approval of the program authority. Up to 12 UOC foundational courses may be taken to provide necessary background and only with program authority approval. These could include one or two courses from:

Advanced Disciplinary Courses (At least 30 UOC)

Research related courses (18 UOC)
Electives (24 UOC)

Must include 6UOC of engineering and technical management (ETM) courses from:
The remainder of electives may be chosen from advanced disciplinary courses from this specialisation, or another specialisation within the Master of Engineering Science program with approval from the stream authority.

Exemptions or Advanced Standing

Exemptions and advanced standing rules for the stream follow the program rules. A student may apply for exemptions. Students with a four year honours degree (for example in Biomedical Engineering) can obtain a maximum of 48 UOC of exemptions. Full details are noted on the program handbook page.
