    About

    In response to COVID-19, the University of Sydney has reviewed the availability of courses to be delivered remotely. 

    This course will be available for students to study remotely whilst the Australian border remains closed due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Please note that some units of study that are not essential to completing the degree may not be available to be studied remotely.

    About this course

    The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Biomedical) and Bachelor of Science (Medical Science) combined degree will develop your engineering expertise alongside the critical insights and research skills offered by the sciences.

    It will emphasise the strong scientific foundations of engineering and expand your career options by giving you two qualifications with just one extra year of study.

    In the Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Biomedical), you will learn from and collaborate with leading researchers across many engineering disciplines as well as in medicine, biology and molecular biology.

    The degree covers all aspects of biomedical engineering, and you could contribute to innovative discoveries within the fields of:

    • biomedical technology
    • biology
    • biomechanics
    • biomaterials
    • orthopaedic engineering
    • tissue engineering
    • medical regulation
    • bioelectronics
    • medical instrumentation
    • the computational simulation of biomedical systems.

    As part of your engineering degree you will undertake the award-winning Professional Engagement Program enabling you to change your approach to learning through self-reflection and extra-curricular activities throughout your degree.

    Complementing your engineering studies, the Bachelor of Science (Medical Science) provides an essential foundation in the structure and function of the human body, from molecules through to whole systems. Core units will ensure you develop a breadth of knowledge across fields such as anatomy, cellular and molecular biochemistry, human physiology, immunobiology, infectious diseases, pharmacology and microbiology, and you will have the opportunity to specialise in senior units.

    You might want to bookmark the course page, as you'll be referring back to it as you prepare your application.

    Inherent requirements

    When choosing a course, you should see if it has any inherent requirements (this will be noted on the course page). These usually apply for courses that are preparing you for a career where you will be working closely with people or animals.

    They aren't assessable admissions criteria, but are required for you to successfully complete the course. Researching the inherent requirements will allow you to make an informed decision about the course/career.

    2. Check your eligibility
