Course Overview
It is this fusion of engineering knowledge and its practical application in healthcare that have led to advancements in areas such as assistive medical technologies, from artificial limbs to implanted medical devices such as pacemakers, stents and hearing aids, for people living with injuries, disabilities or illnesses. In the second year, you will take part in a joint engineering design project with students from the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Electronic Engineering as part of the Rio Tinto Sports Innovation Challenge. This project aims to unleash your creativity to improve the sporting and training equipment available to disabled people. In the third and fourth year, you choose between the Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering pathway. You also have the freedom to take a range of optional modules in an area of biomedical engineering that particularly interests you, from other engineering departments such as the: Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Computing, Department of Chemical Engineering
