Engineering, Science and Medicine have traditionally been the options available to students with inquisitive minds but they now have the opportunity to pursue an exciting fusion of all three.
In response to the demand for bio graduates with highly developed problem-solving skills, the field of bioengineering is now a strength at the University of Melbourne.
Bioengineering is the fastest growing, most exciting, and most challenging area in engineering today. It operates at the intersection between new technologies and new understandings of how biological systems work, making it both an exciting and challenging discipline.
Studying a bioengineering major through Science leads directly to a Masters of Biomedical Engineering and professional registration as an engineer.
The central aim of completing this major, followed by a Masters of Biomedical Engineering is to help students become fluent in both the languages of biology and engineering. Students will be well-placed at the epicentre of this 21st century revolution in medicine and the treatment of disease.
