Bachelor of Engineering Honours and Bachelor of Science (Medical Science)

University of Sydney

About

Succeed in today's dynamic world by developing engineering expertise alongside the critical insights and research skills offered by the sciences.

This combined degree emphasises the strong scientific foundations of engineering.

It will expand your career options by giving you two qualifications with just one extra year of study.You can combine any engineering streams (Aeronautical, Biomedical, Chemical and Biomolecular, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronic, and Software) with a Bachelor of Science (Medical Science).You will gain technical expertise alongside analytical and research skills to lead innovation across continually evolving industries.

In addition to your engineering stream, you will also gain foundational knowledge and research skills in medical science, biomedicine and bioinformatics.As part of your engineering degree you will undertake the award-winning Professional Engagement Program enabling you to change your approach to learning through self-reflection and extra-curricular activities throughout your degree.Complementing your engineering studies, the Bachelor of Science (Medical Science) provides an essential foundation in the structure and function of the human body, from molecules through to whole systems.

Core units will ensure you develop a breadth of knowledge across fields such as anatomy, cellular and molecular biochemistry, human physiology, immunobiology, infectious diseases, pharmacology and microbiology, and you will have the opportunity to specialise in senior units.
