Overview

  • Are you driven to see progress in medical technology?
  • In UniSQ’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Biomedical Engineering, guided by industry experts and experienced academics, you will be involved in a number of projects and cover a range of diverse topics during your learning, such as biomechanics, materials and manufacturing, machine learning, wearable electronics, emerging medical technologies, image processing and medical device entrepreneurship.
  • Gain the skills required for an industry and research career in developing innovative medical devices or improving diagnostics with advanced diagnostic tools and imaging technologies, all while improving patient care and reducing healthcare costs.
  • This degree provides you with comprehensive knowledge necessary to commence practice as a professional biomedical engineer, be eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia (as a Professional Engineer) and to undertake further advanced level studies in engineering.
  • Apply your knowledge through practical work experience and exciting research projects that will give you hands-on industry experience, developing skills in project planning, safety and risk management, teamwork, leadership and communication.
  • 精东传媒app when and how it suits you. We offer courses in three study periods (trimesters) throughout the year to let fast-track through the degree by enrolling full-time in courses in every study period, spread a part-time course load across the full year, or keep a trimester free for work experience or personal commitments. Choose to study on-campus or online while receiving the relevant practical skills needed via residential school courses.

Professional accreditation

Provisional accreditation with Engineers Australia is currently being sought for the Biomedical Engineering major.

When you graduate with your Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), you will be eligible to apply for membership with as a graduate Professional Engineer. With the experience you will gain from working in the field, you may apply for chartered status as a Professional Engineer. You will also have the opportunity to work overseas, with your accreditation recognised in those countries that are signatories to the Washington Accord.

Career outcomes

As a biomedical engineer you will have a range of career opportunities available in healthcare, technology and research. Some positions may include medical device engineer, clinical engineer, research scientist, biomechanical engineer, tissue engineer, systems engineer, clinical research coordinator or a consultant advising healthcare organisations on the implementation of new technologies and systems.

Entry requirements

Pre-requisites

To study this degree we assume you have sound knowledge in:

  • English (Units 3 & 4, C), and
