The Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering offers a Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering to be accredited* with Engineers Australia and recognised through the Washington Accord to meet consistently national and international benchmarks to ensure the competence of our graduates and provide a guarantee of standing that is independent of UNSW.

This two-year degree is designed for those students with a Bachelor of Engineering degree or a cognate degree in a medical science or related discipline, wanting to enter the biomedical engineering profession. It will expand their knowledge and skills in engineering applications in medicine, including neuromodulation and bioinstrumentation, biomechanics and rehabilitation, tissue engineering, bioinformatics, as well as medical device design. The Biomedical Engineering stream is offered as a part of the 8621 program and requires the completion of 96 UoC of courses as follows:

12 UoC Engineering & technical management
30 UoC Disciplinary electives
36 UoC Advanced disciplinary electives
12 UoC MEng project – research, advanced disciplinary
6 UoC Design, advanced disciplinary

In addition, as a part of the program, students are required to complete 60 days of Engineering-related Industrial Training (IT) to become exposed to industry and professional practice, and to apply their knowledge and skills in a professional setting. This must include at least 30 days Biomedical Engineering work experience and up to 30 days in another Engineering field.
