when will the UTS Biomedical Engineering be accredited by Engineers Australia? (1 Viewer)

[nifkeh]

according to http://www.eng.uts.edu.au/courses/undergraduate/majors/biomedical.html they are still seeking approval with Engineers Australia, does anyone have a general idea when they would be approved e.g. next year or 2 years? Just curious because I'm interested to add it as one of my uni preferences but at the same time I'm worried as it's not fully approved yet. thanks

hey there,

Im currently studying biomedical engineering first year. I agree that the job rate is limited but according to our dean of biomedical it will rise in the years to come. So within 5 yrs when i complete the degree, the demand will rise. I being lucky to get into it first year when Uts started biomedical as a major. But heaps of fun and u will enjoy it as well. So put it in ur preferences!

If you are in the first cohort, then generally, it won't be accredited until you have graduated, i.e. you will be in an unaccredited program for 4-5 years. They want to see how well your cohort has performed and whether it meets the standards of other accredited programs.

It should received a provisional accreditation though.
