Students undertake a series of compulsory onboarding modules, completing 84 credit points of foundational courses such as Engineering Science, Engineering Mathematics, and Introduction to Biomedical Engineering. Additionally, 12 credit points must be fulfilled from elective options, with a specific focus on Engineering Mathematics for those lacking prior mathematical foundations.
Students complete 84 credit points in advanced courses such as Mathematics for ECE, Human Physiology for Engineers, and Biomedical Instrumentation and Electronics. An additional 12 credit points is chosen from electives, with prioritisation based on Year One course selections.
The structure includes 48 credit points through courses such as Biomechanics and Biomedical Signal Analysis and image processing, with options to focus on a selected Minor Combination. Various Technical Options are available, allowing students to tailor their studies and include university electives.
In the final year, students engage in a Capstone Project and specialised courses such as Biomaterials and Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology. By completing 48 credit points as well as electives, students refine their expertise in areas such as Lab-on-a-Chip technologies and advanced biomedical electronics.
Throughout the program, students can explore the Minor in Smart Medical Technologies, involving wearable technology and machine-learning applications in diagnostics, thereby ensuring a well-rounded education aligned with industry needs.
