Congratulations! We’ve made it. Well, I’ve made it to the end of the second year and you’ve made it to the end of the first year! Both are indeed great accomplishments. Now we wait for the results. You’ve heard this before, but your results don’t define you. Your grades are not contingent on your self-worth….Continue Reading Farewell and Good Luck from BME! 🙂
You’ve heard enough about sem 1 courses. You’ve heard enough about sem 2 courses. You’ve heard enough about internships. So, what have you not heard enough about yet? There are a few things to know before choosing this specialisation so you are not completely surprised next year, should you take it. Medicine. In second year,…Continue Reading Expectations of BME
The sad truth is lots of people steer clear of BME because of the perpetuating notion that there is a lack of internships with this specialsiation. This is true if you think it is. However, it is not. As a fellow BME PhD student once told me, it is the way you advertise yourself to…Continue Reading Will I get any Internships in BME?
Welcome back to the blog! Hope everyone is doing well during the exam period. As we marked the end of semester 2 a few weeks back, I can now tell you what you can actually expect from it. For starters, I would say it is slightly worse than semester 1 (which is shocking as I…Continue Reading Semester 2 of BME
Hello again😊 Hope everyone had a relaxing midsemester break. I am not sure how that would be possible for any engineering student but at least to some extent, I hope that you can describe your break as somewhat or remotely relaxing. I spent most of my break studying for midsemester tests, projects, and assignments. Nothing…Continue Reading BME Sem 1 Summary

Group assignments – loved or loathed by anyone randomly assigned to complete a 20% assignment with a group of strangers. In a sort of last-ditch effort to show you why Biomedical Engineering is so fun, I thought I’d tell you a little about the group assignments I’ve done this year. As a disclaimer, this second…Continue Reading Group work gamble
When I chose Biomedical, I was expecting lots of learning about medical equipment and how it works. I did not do my research that well into what biomeng was, even when I was enrolling in papers for semester one over summer, I didn’t make any new connections about what was in store. Boy, was I…Continue Reading What to actually expect
One of the worst experiences I’ve had this year is looking for internships. I have spent many hours scrolling Seek, Student Job Search and LinkedIn to try and find a role over summer that will fill those pesky 800 hours of practical work. I learnt the hard way that putting this extra work in early…Continue Reading SummAH Internships
As we approach exams, its time to start reviewing the content from this semester. Oooor watching Netflix while pretending to study. I have loved most of the content this semester, but revision is tedious. I thought while I was looking over all the content, I thought I’d give you a run down of the papers…Continue Reading Sem 2 Paper Run
