Courses

The Master of Engineering (Bioengineering) provides a research-focused learning environment in which students can develop their independent problem solving skills through coursework and supervised research.

Students completing a PhD in Bioengineering will complete the ENBI790 Bioengineering PhD thesis course.

Career opportunities

Studying Bioengineering at postgraduate level develops your skills in communication, problem solving, and project management, and extends your knowledge in your chosen subject area. This means you are highly employable in a Research and Development role in a company that wants to find a new way of doing things or is looking for someone at the forefront of research in a particular area.

Postgraduate study can also lead to a research or teaching career in a tertiary institution.
