Question about mechanical engineering - master/major/sub-major? (1 Viewer)

[black_raven777]

Hi all!

I was having a look in the uni. syd handbook, and it mentions a bachelor engineering (mechanical)/ master biomedical - a course that im interested in as an undergraduate course leading into a postgrad medicine course... i hope!

However, at UTS, they have a similar course where you can sub-major in biomedical engineering...

I don't know what the difference is between these two qualifications (master or sub-major), and was just wondering if anyone could help me out with choosing between the two. ie: would "mastering" be better than just "sub-majoring" - or vice versa?

Thanks for any help guys!

dude you can really bebothered do 5 years and then do graduate medicine thats like 10 years all up,then if you want to specialise who knows how long you are going to be in uni for 13 years

Firstly are you sure such a course exists at USyd? I thought it was offered at UNSW.

Secondly, you get a masters degree after a bachelors and further studying. It is higher than a bachelors in terms of qualification. Sub majoring is nothing in comparison.

USyd is the only uni to offer biomedical engineering as a bachelors degree.

no - unsw offers the course as well, and like i said, uts offers biomed as a sub-major - but thanks for that info on the master's degree - so you think a master's at sydney is "better" - k, and it would be 4+4 years for medicine, except the advantage over doing bSci is that i can actually do something with a bMech MBiomed.... Anyway, thanks for the help guys
