Note:   Specialisations in the Biomedical Stream

Completion of a specialisation is optional. Students not wishing to complete a specialisations should select 'Biomedical Stream Electives'. Students may like to initially select the Stream Electives option and choose a specialisation after their first year.

  • stream specialisation is a subset of stream electives relevant to a particular aspect of Biomedical Engineering, such as Biomedical Computation.
  • breadth specialisation broadens your knowledge outside the field of Biomedical Engineering, in areas such as Engineering Data Science, or Innovation and Entrepreneurship. If you opt to take a breadth specialisation, it takes the place of the free electives.
  • Alternatively, you may choose to take a second stream specialisation in place of the free electives.


You have 4 specialisation combinations to choose from in the Biomedical stream:
  • Stream electives [36cp] + free electives [24cp] (no specialisation option) or
  • 1 stream specialisation [30cp] + 1 stream elective [6cp] + free electives [24cp] or
  • 1 stream specialisation [30cp] + 1 stream elective [6cp] + 1 breadth specialisation [24cp] (no free electives) or
  • 2 stream specialisations [30cp each] (no free or stream electives)


Note: The below enrolment structure is a guide. Students can move electives and industry enterprise units to fit around their needs for their specialisation/s. If further assistance is needed, students are advised to contact their Year Advisor.

Requirements: Summary

In summary the requirements are:

Students must complete 192 credit points as follows:

► 6 credit points of Introductory Computing units table

► 12 credit points of Foundation Mathematics units table

► 30 credit points of Project table

► The Professional Engagement Program (PEP) units comprising ENGP1001 (0cp), ENGP1002 (0cp), ENGP1003 (0cp), ENGP2001 (0cp), ENGP2002 (0cp), ENGP2003 (0cp), ENGP3001 (0cp) and ENGP3002 (0cp)

► 78 credit points of Biomedical Stream core units

The completion of a specialisation is not mandatory. If a student chooses to do a specialisation, it must be completed within the 192 credit points described above.

Advanced units in Maths and Science

Most units of study offered by the Science Faculty on the list of core requirements can be replaced by an equivalent advanced level unit; subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met. Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from their department before enrolling.
