What will I learn?
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science is ideal for students curious about how the human body works, what maintains health, and the biological causes of disease. This program delves deep into human biology-from the whole body to the cellular and molecular level-exploring what makes people both different and fundamentally alike.Students gain a comprehensive scientific foundation, studying the structure and function of the body and the complex relationship between health and disease. The curriculum integrates key areas such as anatomy, immunology, neuroscience, microbiology, haematology, and pathology, while also developing essential skills in data analysis, problem-solving, and laboratory techniques.Practical learning is a key feature of the degree, with laboratory sessions using cutting-edge analytical equipment and a substantial professional placement providing hands-on industry experience.Graduates are well-equipped for careers in scientific research, healthcare laboratories, biotechnology, and related sectors. The degree also opens pathways to further study in medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and other postgraduate health disciplines.A pathway option is available via the Diploma of Health with a Biomedical Science Specialisation, offering an alternative entry into the degree.
