Biomedical with Business

Overview

This course is discontinued and is no longer available for admissions.

Biomedical engineers with business skills bridge the gap between technology, medicine and biology. Within this specialisation, students choose to focus on areas including biomechanical engineering, bioengineering, bioinformatics, biocellular engineering, biosignals, neuroengineering or clinical engineering. Graduates are sought with strong analytical and engineering management skills who will be able to be employed in a variety of industries in roles ranging from research-and-development to project management and finance.

Students also benefit from the high standing of services provided by the University and the Melbourne School of Engineering for biomedical innovation.

Structure

300 credit points

Subject Options

Total 300 points - 212.5 points core (compulsory) plus 87.5 points elective subjects from the list below. Students must complete all 300 points of subjects, including all core subjects, or have advanced standing or exemption.

The core and elective subjects are those listed below. The order of subjects below is one way of progressing through the course - students who meet subject requisites may tailor their individual study plan to take into account advanced standing and their study load. Students plan their study online and can seek further advice from Stop 1 on individual study plans.

Suggested first 100 points:

Suggested study plan for the first 100 points:

• 75 points core
• 25 points foundation elective subjects

Core (75 points)

Foundation Electives (25 points)

Students should complete the equivalent of all Year 1 foundation subjects across both their undergraduate and graduate degrees to ensure they meet all the prerequisite requirements of their course subjects. 

Suggested second 100 points:

Suggested study plan for the second 100 points:

• 100 points core

Core (100 points)

Suggested third 100 points:

Suggested study plan for the third 100 points:

• 37.5 points core

Core (37.5 points)

Biomedical Engineering Capstone Project Electives

Total 25 points

Students must complete 25 points from the following capstone subjects:

Note: BMEN90031 Biomedical Engineering Capstone Project Part 1 and BMEN90032 Biomedical Engineering Capstone Project Part 2 must be taken in 2 consecutive semesters. Students commence BMEN90031 in Semester 2 and continue BMEN90032 in the consecutive semester (Semester 1 in the following year). Upon successful completion of this project, students will receive 25 points credit.

Bioengineering Electives

Total 37.5 points

Students are encouraged to take two subjects in the same study area:

• Tissue Engineering & Stem Cells and
• Computational Genomics and Algorithms for Functional Genomics
• Soft Tissue and Cellular Biomechanics and Computational Biomechanics
• Medical Imaging and Neural Information Processing
