The Master of Biomedical Engineering is a 2–3 year degree (full-time) depending on their prior study. In the first year (or equivalent) students will complete foundation engineering subjects – tailored to students from a non-engineering background. In the second and third years (or equivalent), students will focus on their chosen engineering discipline. As a biomedical engineering student, the focus will be on human systems and the design and operation of devices and processes that can be applied to new medical treatments, instruments, and machines.
