Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences

Course Overview

Overview

• Discover the intricate processes of the human body and gain the skills needed to develop groundbreaking treatments and improve health outcomes. Biomedical research investigates the underlying mechanisms of diseases, paving the way for enhanced diagnostic methods, therapeutic interventions and preventive measures against conditions that compromise health and longevity. 
• Study topics such as human anatomy and physiology, cell and molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, microbiology and pathophysiology. 
• Learn from accomplished biomedical science researchers with international reputations in key fields, such as cancer research, neuroscience, endocrinology, medical technologies and biotechnology.  
• Access industry-leading learning and research facilities and benefit from hands-on laboratory experience, preparing you for a career in biomedical sciences, or further study such as medicine. 
• Domestic students can study abroad and complete part of this UniSQ degree overseas. Immerse yourself in new cultures, meet new people, enrich your personal development, and travel the world while studying.  
• This degree is a perfect stepping stone for students wanting to undertake the Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT); it also provides the knowledge and skills to enter professional courses such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physiotherapy and veterinary science, or for further study in research higher degrees such as Honours, PhD and Masters programs.
