2093 Master of Applied Science
(Biomedical Instrumentation)
2084 Graduate Diploma of Applied
Science in Biomedical
Instrumentation
The Graduate Diploma/Master of Engineering (Biomedical
Instrumentation) normally involves two years of part-time
or one year of full-time study.
The course offers training in instrumentation and
quantitative techniques coupled with a study of the
physiological processes being monitored. It provides a
detailed study of the design, construction, operation and
commercial production of a wide range of biomedical and
general laboratory instrumentation.
The course also emphasises innovative techniques of
instrumentation and the skills required for the commercial
development of these techniques.
Entry requirements
Entry to the Graduate Diploma/Master of Engineering is
open to applicants with a first tertiary qualification in
medicine, engineering or science or to those with lesser
5.0 qualifications but substantial and relevant experience.
Course structure
Students must complete 100 credit points for the Graduate
Diploma and 150 credit points to complete the Masters,
including relevant project work.
Semester 1: EE740 Project Management & Research
Methods plus 3 core subjects (50 credit points)
Semester 2: EE760 Research Project A plus 2 core subjects;
(50 credit points)
Semester 3: EE761 Research Project B plus 2 core subjects
(50 credit points).
Alternative structure:
Semester 1: EE740 Project Management & Research
Methods plus 3 core subjects (50 credit points)
Semester 2: four core subjects (50 credit points);
Semester 3: EE762 Major Research Project (50 credit points)

2096 Master of Applied Science
(Social Statistics)
This is a seven semester part-time program consisting of
twelve subjects and a minor thesis. This course is for people
with similar backgrounds to those undertaking the Graduate
Diploma (Social Statistics), but who want to make an indepth
study of the area and gain research skills.
Normal entry is by an approved degree plus successful
completion of the graduate diploma in social or health
statistics with at least two distinctions in the second year.
Other applicants with suitable backgrounds (such as relevant
academic and work experience) may be considered for
admission to the masters program.
Course structure
Ten subjects from those offered in the Graduate Diploma of
Applied Science (Social Statistics), plus research work. This
consists of three research subjects (listed below), in which
students have the opportunity to apply the knowledge and
