每个学科的学习计划应包括获批准的400级和500级论文，总分60分，并且通常应包括一个以上学科的论文。经相关系主任或课程主任批准后，可能会包含400到500篇论文中不超过相关应用科学硕士（MAppSc）表中指定的论文的20分的论文。生物工程，生物技术工程或生物工程（包括生物系统工程）是应用工程原理来应对生物学和医学领域中的挑战。
The Centre for Bioengineering and Nanomedicine at the University of Otago performs cutting‑edge research. It also gives postgraduate students and industry the opportunity to conduct bioengineering and nanomedicine research with world‑class scientists. Our vision is to be an interdisciplinary, pure and applied research‑led centre with an international reputation for excellence.Bioengineering is rooted in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, and the life sciences. It is a multi‑disciplinary approach to the systematic, quantitative, and integrative methods of developing solutions to problems important in biology, medical research, and clinical proactive and population studies.The Centre for Bioengineering and Nanomedicine is at the forefront of research into biomaterials, molecular and biomedical imaging, point-of-care technologies, and regenerative medicine. We have diverse strengths across physical, engineering, and biomedical sciences that enable excellence in research.Conducting research in bioengineering enables students to apply their knowledge of physical or engineering principles to address problems in biology and medicine. Candidates for the PGDipAppSc, MAppSc, MSc (taughtthesis) are based in one or more departments within the Division of Sciences or Health Sciences.
