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.
