Summary
If you’re curious about how the human body works, interested in disease, and excited by science, research, and innovation, then the Bachelor of Biomedical Science is for you.
You'll gain a strong and practical grounding in Biomedical Science through integrated case-based learning that shows how molecular and cellular discoveries become real medical advances.
With hands-on learning across key areas of human biology, you'll build adaptable skills that prepare you for careers in research, biotech, diagnostics, health tech, communication and policy, as well as pathways to further study.
Programme Highlights
- Build a strong foundation in Biomedical Science.
- Learn how the systems inside our bodies function, and how science leads to new diagnostics, medicines and technologies.
- Gain hands on experience with lab work, experiments and case studies.
- Broaden your focus with a conjoint degree. Combine the BBiomedSc with Arts, Commerce, Communication, Engineering, Fine Arts, Global Studies, Health sciences, Law, Science or Sport, Health and Physical Education.
The programme also provides a pathway to apply into Year 2 undergraduate clinical programmes in Medicine, Medical Imaging, Optometry and Pharmacy.
