The Biodevices PhD program is designed to develop future leaders in the medical device and diagnostics industry. Participants will be outstanding students drawn from the disciplines of engineering, science, medicine, design and ICT, or recent graduates with relevant business or technology innovation experience. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a structured three year PhD program that will include time in industry and units from Swinburne's Masters in Entrepreneurship and Innovation during the first year. It is envisaged that this approach will form the basis for industry-engaged PhD training in high tech industries in future. Recorded on 19 September 2014.
