General Education Requirements

UNSW wants all students to develop skills in a broad range of areas, not just in their specific study discipline, and so students in all degrees are required to undertake a number of general studies courses outside their discipline. It may not be possible for Computer Engineering students to enrol in general education courses that are similar in content to the courses offered in the Computer Engineering degree. For a comprehensive list, see:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/undergrad/current/gened.html

Academic Rules

Please refer to Program Structure for the Academic Requirements relating to this program.

Fees

Professinal Recognition

The Institution of Engineers, Australia, recognises the Bachelor of Engineering components of the BE/MBiomedE courses as meeting the examination requirements for admission to graduate and corporate membership. In addition, examination requirements are met for membership of the Institution's College of Biomedical Engineering. The degrees are accorded substantial or complete recognition by overseas engineering institutions.
