Resolutions of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies relating to this table:

BE (Biomedical) Engineering

A minimum of 192 credit points is required to be eligible for the award of the degree of BE(Biomedical). 144 cp are selected from the core and recommended unit tables and 48 cp are selected from a table of major units.

BE(Biomedical)/BSc or BCom or BMedSci or BPM or BA or LLB

In addition to gaining credit for the units of study set out in the above tables, candidates are required to complete sufficient Biomedical Engineering electives so as to bring their total of eligible engineering credit points to at least 144. Further to this they are required to complete at least 96 credit points of units of study given by the Faculty of Science for the BE/BSc and BMedSci, or the School of Business for the BE/BCom or from the core units table for BPM. In the case of the BE/BA, they are required to complete at least 84 credit points of units of study given by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and the remaining 12 credit points will be Biomedical Engineering electives from the table above.
A minimum of 240 credit points is required to be eligible for the combined degrees BE/BSc, BMedSci, BE/BCom and BE/BA.
In the case of the BE/LLB, they are required to complete 96 credit points of compulsory Law units of study and a further 48 credit points of elective Law units of study.
A minimum of 288 credit points is required to be eligible for the combined degree BE/LLB.
Candidates should refer to the joint resolutions of the faculty in which they are undertaking the second degree.
