Course overview
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Biomedical Engineering is a program that incorporates various engineering skills to create solutions to improve people’s health and wellbeing. Biomedical Engineering is a field in which engineering principles meet biological and medical sciences to innovate and enhance healthcare solutions, create more effective patient care and make a positive impact in the health space.
In this specialisation, students will design and develop medical devices and health technologies, whilst exploring cutting-edge healthcare solutions like imaging systems, prosthetics, and biocompatible materials and diagnostic instruments. They will be equipped with the skills to apply the latest advances in robotics, computing and nanotechnology to medicine, and will work closely with healthcare providers whilst gaining a solid foundation in core engineering principles.
