Students who have completed the Bioengineering Systems major will be able to rigorously integrate the fundamental mathematics of systems modelling with the fundamental sciences of biology, chemistry and physics in the formulation and solution of problems involving biomedical systems. More specifically, core skills and knowledge that will be developed include: fundamental scientific comprehension that will lead to accurate mathematical modelling of biological and engineering systems, analytical and abstract thinking, problem-solving and design skills, ability to carry out laboratory experiments to confirm possible solutions to complex problems. At all levels of this major, we will ensure the development of excellent communication skills that will enable our graduates to deliver complex scientific information in a clear and concise fashion. The Bioengineering Systems major will open up pathways for students leading to accredited professional or scientific research careers in biomedical engineering (through further study in the Masters in Engineering or PhD programs respectively), applied mathematics, applied science, teaching, management and finance. Course structure The Bachelor of Science requires the successful completion of 24 subjects (300 points), including a major. Most students study eight subjects each year (usually four subjects in each semester) for three years full-time. The 24 subjects must comprise: 18 core science subjects (225 points) made up of At least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 1 (usually first year), at least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 2 (usually second year) and 6 subjects (75 points) at level 3 (usually third year) which includes 4 subjects of your chosen science major. 4-6 breadth subjects (50-75 points) With at least 1 subject at both level 2 and level 3. And up to 2 elective subjects (25 points) either science subjects or breadth subjects at level 1, 2 or 3. Career outcomes The Bachelor of Science is a great first step towards your dream career. Whether you have specific goals in mind or you're exploring your options, we are here to support you. During your three years in the Bachelor of Science, you will have multiple opportunities to engage with industry and explore career paths that suit your skills and interests. You'll join a group of committed students and from day one you can study towards a career in engineering, climatology, medicine, veterinary medicine, nanoscience, psychology or dozens of other specialty areas.
