Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering)

UNSW Sydney

Type of institution: Higher Education Institutions
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00098G

Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles to developing technologies and solving problems in a diverse range of health care related fields e.g. implantable bionics, drug delivery systems, medical imaging, radiotherapies, orthopaedic devices, telemedicine, robotic surgery, cell and tissue engineering, records management, physical rehabilitation and others. This Graduate Diploma program provides graduates with opportunities to extend their professional knowledge. Candidates may undertake interdisciplinary studies and, subject to approval, are able to take courses from any school in the Engineering Faculty, other Faculties of the University and other universities or institutions. Consequently, study programs may be constructed to best suit to the individual needs of particular candidates.

Designed for

Graduates with an engineering/physical sciences background or a medical/life sciences background

Structure

Candidates must complete 48 units of credit in postgraduate courses, at least 36 UoC from the electives listed under the Biomedical Engineering program listing in the handbook AND up to 12 UoC of other postgraduate courses, subject to approval by the head of school. Note the Masters Project is not available in this program nor are undergraduate courses. Before final course selection candidates should submit an intended program plan to the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering for discussion and approval. Candidates who meet certain academic progress requirements (normally a credit average performance or better in their first semester) may be considered for transfer to the Masters program with advanced standing. Further enquires should be made with the School.
