Selected major: Clinical Technologies

Learn about anatomy and physiology using cutting-edge MedTech. Become a clinical physiologist, or biomedical scientist, with postgraduate study. 

What is Clinical Technology? Endorsed by ANSA (Australian Neurophysiological Scientists of Australia), this highly-respected major prepares you for the future of health tech. Learn to use point-of-care, industry-standard devices to medically monitor cardiopulmonary, renal and neurophysiology systems.

Clinical Technologies shares five units with biomedical engineering, giving you lab time with students whose specific skillset complements your own knowledge of health and biology. 

We’ve developed this tech-savvy curriculum with professional bodies, and we encourage you to register with our industry networks at the start of your degree, so you can build your CV while you study. 

Many graduates of this major now enjoy careers as clinical physiologists, testing patients in hospital cardiac, respiratory, renal, neurophysiology, and sleep labs.

The Bachelor of Health Science/Bachelor of Science offers you the skills, knowledge and key theoretical insights required to work in a range of professional scientific environments and build a career promoting health and wellbeing.

You'll explore Australian and international health challenges. Examine the physical, psychological and social aspects of health in a variety of settings. And, learn about contemporary issues in health science, such as biomedical testing or health communication, and how to address them.

You'll also access laboratories and testing facilities equipped with the latest technology – Swinburne is the only university in Australia with MRI and MEG labs on campus.

Build up your CV with real industry experience while you study through our Work Integrated Learning programs, which are a guaranteed part of all our bachelor degrees and can include placements, internships or industry-linked projects. In this double degree, in the Health Sciences Project (HEA30001), and in three project units related to science, you’ll have the opportunity to apply your learning and work collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams on industry-linked projects.
