This combined degree is designed to provide opportunities for students interested in medical science, the scientific basis of engineering and technology, and the technology itself. There is a strong interrelation between the progress of engineering and developments in science, and a demonstrated need for professionals with a strong understanding and experience in both areas. A strong professional focus ensures graduates of this course learn the skills employers want with a solid link between theory and practice and the benefits of hands-on experience. This combined degree can be completed in less time than would be required to complete the two degrees separately. Course aims This course aims to produce graduates with professional qualifications in medical science and engineering who are well prepared to pursue a career in either field, or one that combines the skills of both. Course structure The program comprises a total of 246 credit points, made up of 168 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and 78 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Medical Science. Careers Career options include positions in biotechnology, communications, construction, energy and resource exploration and development, environmental protection and management, materials technology, mathematical modeling, medical technology and instrumentation, molecular biology, nanotechnology and transportation.
