Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Medical Science / Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice

Course Details

This combined degree is the same as the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Medical Science, except for the additional requirement of two internships and completion of the professional engineering practice program. Students can transfer to this program if they wish to complete the Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice. 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.

Qualification: Bachelor Degree (Honours)

Course structure: The program comprises a total of 288 credit points, made up of 210 credit points from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice and 78 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Medical Science. The engineering component of this course is made up of subjects selected from the engineering core, the professional engineering practice program and the engineering fields of practice (majors). The medical science component represents a specific medical science strand. Graduation from the medical science component of the combined degree is not possible prior to completion of all components of the combined degree.

This course produces 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.
