COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
• Leverage our network of industry partners to gain valuable practical experience and start building your career.
• Pursue biomedical engineering research at the Victorian Heart Hospital on the Clayton campus, Australia’ s first dedicated cardiac hospital.
• Capitalise on the growing demand for biomedical engineers, driven by advancements in AI, an ageing population, and a thriving medical device sector.
Biomedical engineers apply engineering design skills to medical and biological sciences for the purpose of improving people’ s health.
X-rays, cardiac pacemakers, ventilators and artificial joints – these are just some of the critical technologies used every day to save lives and promote better health outcomes, and were all designed by biomedical engineers.
As a biomedical engineer, you’ ll bridge the gap between medicine and technology to improve diagnostics, monitoring and therapy, and create new medical instruments and devices.
Whether you design new 3D-printed prosthetics, use biomaterials to repair and regenerate cells, apply AI principles to advanced monitoring tools, or build your own start-up in the med-tech field, you’ ll make a powerful impact on patients’ treatment, recovery and quality of life as a biomedical engineer.
At Monash, you’ ll be equipped with strong clinical, technical and regulatory foundations in professional biomedical engineering practice, taught by leading academics in physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, materials science, electrical, biomedical, mechanical and chemical engineering.

Transferring to Australia
To transfer to the Clayton campus, you’ ll need to have:
• completed at least 84 credit points with an overall minimum WAM of >= 50 % if you’ ve completed your second year, or
• completed at least 24 credit points with an overall minimum WAM of >= 55 % if you’ re transferring before your second year
• be in good academic standing for the past 12 months
• not been before an Academic Progress Committee( APC) panel in the year leading up to your application to transfer
• not be subject to an APC panel at the time of applying.
An engineering degree studied in two countries
The Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering( Honours) is a four-year degree where you’ ll study your first two years in Malaysia and your final years at our Clayton campus in Melbourne, Australia.
Immerse yourself in two cultures and academic environments while studying a degree of the highest education quality.
