COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Professional Engineering (Accelerated) (Biomedical Engineering) is structured to develop advanced technical expertise, research capability, and professional engineering skills through a combination of core study, specialisation, and project-based learning. In Year 1, students begin with foundational professional engineering units such as sustainable design and engineering practice, alongside core biomedical subjects including biomanufacturing, biomaterials, and biomedical product development. Students also select specialised units aligned with their chosen focus area, allowing them to tailor their learning to specific interests within biomedical engineering. In Year 2, the program progresses into more advanced and applied areas, including tissue engineering and biomedical engineering technology, while continuing specialised study to deepen disciplinary expertise. A major feature of the course is the capstone project or dissertation pathway, which enables students to engage in independent research or industry-focused problem-solving, integrating knowledge gained throughout the degree. Students also gain practical experience through professional engineering placement opportunities, strengthening their readiness for real-world biomedical engineering roles. The program emphasises innovation, design thinking, and the application of engineering principles to healthcare challenges. Overall, graduates are prepared for careers in medical device development, biotechnology, healthcare technology, and research, with strong capabilities in both technical engineering and professional practice in multidisciplinary environments.
