Why study Bachelor of Biomedical Science?

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.

Course details

Career opportunities
