Sport and Biomedical Engineering
Could an engineer help perfect an Olympic swimmer's stroke, a cricketer's drive or a Wimbledon winner's serve?
The new Bachelor of Engineering (Sport and Biomedical) will assist to develop and improve systems and strategies for performance in the sporting, healthcare, rehabilitation and medical industries.
The degree is the first of its kind in the Australian tertiary system and meets the growing demand for trained sports and biomedical engineers to help athletes train smarter and repair the human body.
Griffith's engineering programs are known for their innovation and practical relevance, and mix leading-edge research with hands-on experience in state-of-the-art laboratories. Students work within some of the most advanced teaching and research facilities in Australia, with access to the latest technology.
