Course overview
The degree provides a solid foundation in biomedical sciences leading to a research-based honours year. With electives in biomedical sciences, students may design a specialised program that gives them an in-depth knowledge of one area of the biomedical sciences. Electives may be chosen from other faculties for a broader program. Students are taught by experts in the biomedical sciences and gain the skills necessary to understand and investigate human biology and health. The core program consists of interdisciplinary units covering modern and traditional biomedical sciences, human biology, anatomy, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, pharmacology, physiology, biomedical basis of disease and epidemiology and preventative medicine, health policy and management.
In first and second years, 25 per cent of the course is devoted to elective units, increasing to 75 per cent in third year. Elective units may be taken within the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences or from other faculties at Monash.
