Msc Biomedical Engineering in The University of Sydney, Australia

Msc Biomedical Engineering in The University of Sydney

Bioengineers are leading the way in tackling modern healthcare challenges. From the development of rapid testing technologies to designing new life-saving devices. At the interface of engineering and medicine, Bioengineering advances knowledge in engineering, biology and medicine, improving lives through cross-disciplinary activities.

Our Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering first began in 1991 and provides all the necessary technical knowledge, expertise and transferable skills to succeed in one of the fastest growing engineering disciplines.

• Biomechanics and Mechanobiology pathway – this stream focusses on bioengineering problems related to systems including cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, orthopaedic, ophthalmic, and respiratory systems. The content is aimed at understanding how mechanical forces impact biological function at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ and organism levels.

• Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering pathway – this stream covers the use of biomaterials in medical and surgical environments. The content covers the use of advanced biomaterials in healthcare exploring aspects such as biocompatibility and tissue regeneration.

• Medical Physics and Imaging pathway – this stream trains graduates in the physical understanding required for healthcare and medical research, with focus on human physiology, radiotherapy and clinical imaging. The content explores methods, techniques and application for monitoring and imaging of biological systems.

• Neurotechnology pathway – this stream focuses on new technology for investigating brain function, such as developing neuroprosthetic devices and new neuroimaging techniques. The content examines the development and application of brain-machine interfaces and the science behind communication throughout the nervous system.

It is important to specify your stream of choice on your application or in your personal statement as space on streams is limited. All four streams lead to the award of MSc Biomedical Engineering.

Location

Teaching will be shared across our  South Kensington and White City Campuses and you will be expected to attend lectures, study groups and labs on either site.

This is an exciting time, with the opening of The Sir Michael Uren Biomedical Engineering Hub that will drive clinical translation of MedTech innovation through integrated clinical and imaging facilities and by virtue of its proximity to the Hammersmith Hospital campus.

Careers

Our career-focused degrees ensure graduates are well-placed to gain employment in a growing industry. The global population is ageing which increases demand for biomedical engineers to create new medical devices.

There are many areas of employment open to you as a graduate of this course, and previous graduates have gone on to pursue careers in:

• Healthcare
• Medical device industry
• Research
