How do you become a Neuroengineering student?
If you are interested in a career in neuroengineering, at the
undergraduate level we recommend doing either a Bachelors in Biomedical
Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics or
Physics, and rounding out your degree with neuroscience/psychology
related electives. If you are a student of The University of Melbourne,
it may be possible to do your 4th year or Honours year project under the
supervision of a member of the neuroengineering group. There are also
paid undergraduate research opportunities available through the UROP
scheme.
At the postgraduate level, we currently recommend completing either a
Masters or PhD in Biomedical Engineering or Electrical and Electronic
Engineering. When applying for such degrees, we recommend contacting a
member of the neuroengineering group with similar research interests to
yours.
Depending on the desired research/degree level, there are various
sources of student funding. Contact us to find out about potential
funding sources, or to ask us if a particular scholarship is the right
one for you.
