Handbook

To qualify for the Bachelor of Medical Science / Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours) a student must complete 198 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic according to the program of study below with a:

• Medical Science component of 72 units
• Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours) component of 126 units, according to the program of study below

Not all topics are necessarily available each year.

Students who commence, but subsequently do not wish to complete the combined degrees program may be eligible to transfer to either the Bachelor of Medical Science or the Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours) and receive credit for some or all of the topics already completed in the relevant component.

Students admitted in a combined degree must complete the program of study specified before they can graduate with either award.

1. This Program of Study serves as a suggested study plan. When core topics are offered in both halves of the year, students may enrol in these topics in either half of the year as long as requisites are met.
2. With the permission of the Course Coordinator, students may instead undertake ENGR9405 Engineering Work Experience (4.5 units) that may be done any time after the student has completed 72 units, plus 9 units of upper-level topics. Upper-level topics must be selected from COMP, ENGR, MATH and STAT topics at 2000-level and above.
3. ENGR3710 International Engineering Practicum should be selected by those students intending to undertake their Practicum outside of Australia.  Enrolment is subject to approval by the College and will consider the quality and appropriateness of the placement.
4. Students may, in consultation with the Course Coordinator, amend the above Program of Study as long as both of the component single degrees will be satisfied within the normal length of the award.

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.

SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Specialist Mathematics or Mathematical Methods or equivalent International Baccalaureate subjects is normally required.

SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Physics

The Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) (Honours) is accredited at the level of professional engineer. Professional engineering courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Graduates meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered professional engineering status.
