All candidates for the Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering (Bioelectronics) degree (including those enrolled in a combined degree) must satisfy the requirements described in the table of core units of study.
Candidates will also need to choose a number of recommended units of study for Electrical (Bioelectronics) Engineering, which consist of:
- all level 3, 4 and 5 ELEC units which do not appear in the table of core units;
- the units of study listed in the table of additional recommended units of study; and
- such other units of study as may be so designated by the Head of School.

Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical (Bioelectronics) Engineering

Candidates for the 4-year Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering (Bioelectronics) degree are required to complete a total of not less than 192 credit points including at least 168 credit points made up of units from the table of core units and recommended units of study. The additional 24 credit points may consist, in whole or in part, of free elective units of study approved by the Head of School.
