About
If you're passionate about biomedical engineering and want to build a career in this field, this double degree is ideal for you. It combines the technical knowledge of Materials Science and Engineering with specialised postgraduate training in Biomedical Engineering.
The Materials Science and Engineering component focuses on studying the structure, properties and performance of metals, polymers ceramics, composites, and bio-inspired materials for use in biomedical, health and other applications of benefit to society. The Biomedical Engineering component utilises these principles to create new technologies and solve problems in various healthcare-related fields. You'll explore exciting fields such as implantable bionics, drug delivery systems, medical imaging, orthopaedic devices, telemedicine, robotic surgery, cell and tissue engineering, physical rehabilitation, and more.
With this double degree, you'll be equipped to make a positive impact on the world of biomedical engineering, helping improve people's health and well-being through innovative technologies and solutions.
On completion of this five-year program, you'll earn two separate degrees: a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering and a Master of Biomedical Engineering.
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.

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 2024 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.
