UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

Level 1 I Level 2 I Level 3I Level 4 I Level 3 and 4 electives I Materials Science I Bachelor of Biomedical Sci/Engineering I Double Degrees available (pdf 3.8Mb)

The Department offers undergraduate programmes in the Faculty of Engineering. Graduates from all of our programmes are highly employable, as they have acquired specialised knowledge in their chosen discipline and a range of high-level experimental and problem-solving skills.

Materials Engineering is the stream in the Faculty of Engineering which deals with all areas relating to current materials used in many diverse manufacturing industries such as aerospace, and the exciting research and development of new materials and applications.

Double degree programmes offer versatility for students who want to combine their major with studies from another faculty. The Bachelor of Biomedical Science/Bachelor of Engineering (Materials) is a unique and exciting double degree program combining subjects selected from the Department of Materials Engineering and the Faculty of Medicine.
Science-Engineering is one example of a highly valued double degree. (pdf 184kB)

A student at Monash will usually take four or more 'units' (previously called subjects) each semester. As well as units in our own major disciplines, specially designed units are provided for students in the biomedical, biological, environmental, radiography and medical imaging disciplines. Links are provided below.

The elective choice may vary from year to year, as may the semester in which it is offered.
The majority of elective units are offered biennially, in the years indicated.
Any student doing a non-standard course should obtain departmental approval for their enrolment.

Materials Science

The course is presented by the Department of Materials Engineering as part of the science degree.
Studies can commence in first year by enrolling in the unit MSC1010 or at second year in the units MSC2011 and MSC2122. The course comprises a major in the Bachelor of Science. It can also be taken as the science component of a double degree which includes the Bachelor of Science (including Science/Engineering double degrees where Materials Engineering can also be the engineering branch chosen).
