Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering (Honours)

In order to improve people's health, biomedical engineers use engineering design talents in the biological and medical sciences. Biomedical engineers created vital technologies that are utilised on a daily basis to save lives and improve health outcomes, such as prosthetic joints, heart pacemakers, ventilators, and X-rays. By bridging the gap between technology and medicine, a biomedical engineer can develop novel medical devices and tools and enhance monitoring, therapy, and diagnostics.
As a biomedical engineer, you will have a significant influence on patient's treatment, recovery, and quality of life, whether you create new 3D-printed prosthetics, use biomaterials to repair and regenerate cells, apply Al principles to sophisticated monitoring tools, or launch your own medical technology start-up.
