The Master of Science in Biomedical Cybernetics is a cross-disciplinary degree programme, undertaken mainly by research, in the field of Biomedical Cybernetics. Here Biomedical Cybernetics refers to the classical definition of cybernetics as applied to biological and biomedical systems, that is, the technology-abstracted study of biological and biomedical systems and signals, and concepts such as the following, as applied to biological and biomedical systems and signals: systems theory, analysis, modelling, behaviour and control; data, signal and image acquisition, analysis and processing; study and extraction of information, pattern and intelligence; understanding of knowledge directed processes; decision-making processes; and the design and development of devices to achieve the above; and the application of digital technologies to medicine, healthcare and wellbeing.
The programme has a taught component that provides the required skills to the candidates and a research component that engages the candidate to apply their background and newly learnt skills to a specific research problem broadly related to the areas of medicine and biology.
While the Centre for Biomedical Cybernetics has a number of ongoing research themes such as in brain signal analysis, biomedical imaging, wearable health-care devices, patient rehabilitation, ambient assisted and independent living, MRI studies, gait and motion analysis, interested candidates are encouraged to approach the Centre to discuss their interests as related to biomedical cybernetics.
The programme of studies can be taken either on a full-time basis over a period of one calendar year or on a part-time basis over a period of three academic years.

Compulsory Units (All students must register for this/these unit/s)

The demand for clinicians, scientists and engineers having skills in cybernetic principles as applied to the broad areas of medicine and biology is bound to increase due to the growth in medical and biological data complexity and the various ways by which such medical and biological data would need to be processed and used. Successful students completing the Masters of Science in Biomedical Cybernetics would be either adding a strong technical component to their background in any area related to medicine and biology or, for the technical and engineering graduates, to obtain training that will enable them to apply their technical background specifically to problem in medicine and biology, an area which is becoming more and more dominated by technology, data acquisition and processing. Graduates from this course will also be eligible to follow doctoral studies in areas broadly related to biomedical cybernetics.
