Biomedical engineering in Australia: the figures

Across 7 universities this subject comes to 8 programmes on our list (4 bachelor's, 4 master's). One year of a bachelor's here costs ₹32 lakh (A$48,300) to ₹41 lakh (A$61,500). Least expensive: Swinburne's Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Biomedical), at ₹32 lakh. One year of a master's here costs ₹34 lakh (A$50,100) to ₹41 lakh (A$61,000). Campus cities: Sydney (4), Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Wollongong. Bachelor's study lasts 4 years; a master's here takes 2–3 years.

A small, specialised field

Biomedical engineering has fewer graduate jobs than civil or electrical engineering, and many roles ask for research experience. Students who are unsure can take mechanical or electrical engineering with biomedical electives, which keeps more doors open.

Questions from Indian students: Biomedical engineering in Australia
