Monash University

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Biomedical Engineering)

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

Imagine, design and build new technologies that transform the future of healthcare and change millions of lives for the better by studying biomedical engineering. You’ll bridge the gap between medicine and technology to create new types of diagnostics, monitoring tools and therapies, and build game-changing medical instruments and devices.

Save people’s lives by building a new diagnostic tool that identifies deadly diseases much faster and more accurately than before. Restore function to the body with new biomaterials that can repair and regenerate cells in ways that were previously unthinkable. Apply AI principles to advanced monitoring tools that pick up potential problems quicker than a human ever could. Or, build your own global start-up in the growing med-tech field. Whatever you do, you’ll make a powerful impact on patients’ treatment, recovery and quality-of-life as a biomedical engineer.
