Why study Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Bachelor of Science?
This double degree program is for high-achieving students with an interest in both biomedical and basic sciences. It provides the opportunity to combine studies in the core units for the Bachelor of Biomedical Science component with up to two major sequences in related areas of science in the Bachelor of Science component. Fourteen biomedical core units provide students with the skills necessary to understand and investigate the functions of humans and other mammals. Graduates will have an advanced understanding of at least one basic area of science that underpins or complements biomedical sciences and is relevant to medical research and healthcare. One science major sequence must be chosen from chemistry, biological sciences, genetics, physics, mathematics or statistics. A minor or second major sequence must be chosen from a different science area of study including any of the biomedical sciences such as anatomy, biochemistry, developmental biology, human pathology, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, pharmacology and physiology.
webpage for details of Science areas of study and sequences available.
Course details
Career opportunities
As both science and biomedical science graduates are highly employable the combination of the two degrees will increase the career prospects of graduates. Graduates will be well prepared for employment in the health care and medical related industries as well as areas requiring basic science knowledge and skills.
Students can pursue the range of careers available to both biomedical science and science graduates. Please refer to the career information for these degrees.
Professional recognitions
- Certified chemist status with the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (students who complete a major in chemistry are eligible)
- Graduate membership of the Australian Institute of Physics (students who complete an approved major sequence in physics, plus required units in mathematics are eligible)
