Why study Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Bachelor of Engineering?

Students can combine a Bachelor of Biomedical Science/Bachelor of Engineering in one of five disciplines (chemical, civil, electrical and computer systems, materials or mechanical engineering) and position themselves for careers in the biomedical engineering field. The biomedical science component includes aspects of anatomy, biochemistry, clinical medicine, epidemiology and preventative medicine, genetics, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, physiology, and psychology. The core subjects provide students with the skills necessary to understand and investigate human biology and health and include aspects of traditional biomedical sciences. The engineering component is based on grounding in the basic sciences combined with a focus on design, the latter being taught by a combination of lectures on design methodology culminating in a final-year project in the biomedical engineering field. In some disciplines there are additional projects.

Course details

Career opportunities

BBiomedSc/BE students will learn to identify solutions to problems that include a human or biological element, and to contribute engineering solutions to medical problems confronted by a multidisciplinary biomedical science/engineering team.

They will also understand the interface requirements, and be able to design aspects of medical systems. Experience of working within a team and the acquired knowledge of a range of biomedical disciplines will provide students with the knowledge and insights to be able to communicate with and collaborate with members of a multidisciplinary biomedical engineering/science research and development team.
