About
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Biomedical Engineering is a program that incorporates various engineering skills to create solutions to improve people’s health and wellbeing. Biomedical Engineering is a field in which engineering principles meet biological and medical sciences to innovate and enhance healthcare solutions, create more effective patient care and make a positive impact in the health space.
In this specialisation, students will design and develop medical devices and health technologies, whilst exploring cutting-edge healthcare solutions like imaging systems, prosthetics, and biocompatible materials and diagnostic instruments. They will be equipped with the skills to apply the latest advances in robotics, computing and nanotechnology to medicine, and will work closely with healthcare providers whilst gaining a solid foundation in core engineering principles.
Double degrees: Biomedical Engineering can be combined with 425560 Bachelor of Fine Arts, 425850 Bachelor of Arts, 425850 Bachelor of Science, 425850 Bachelor of Science (Computer Science), 425900 Bachelor of Commerce, 426000 Bachelor of Laws, 429330 Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) (Hons), 429360 Bachelor of Advanced Science (Hons) or 425401 Bachelor of Engineering Science.
ATAR Profile: Some UNSW offers were issued based on the UNSW Gateway Early Conditional Offer Scheme with a lower ATAR entry requirement. Refer to the Admissions Information for a complete ATAR profile by degree.
Areas of study

ATAR profile
ATAR-based offers only (semester 1, 2024)
Use all ATAR profile data as a guide only; it provides a broad overview of the ATARs and selection ranks of previous Year 12 students admitted into that course. ATARs and selection ranks required for entry in 2025 may be different. If you are unsure about including a course among your preferences, contact the relevant institution.
- This ATAR profile table is in line with Commonwealth Government transparency requirements. It is based on offers to recent school leavers (ie completed Year 12 in the last 2 years) who were selected solely or partly on their ATAR. Note that some institutions further differentiate this information on their websites.
- The ATAR values exclude any adjustment factors.
- The selection ranks include the ATAR and any adjustment factors.
