Bachelor of Biomedical Science Advanced (Honours)

This is a high-profile course designed for talented students who expect to pursue a career in biomedical research. It is an advanced version of the Bachelor of Biomedical Science course, providing opportunities for you to develop research, communication and team-work skills during your undergraduate studies.

Biomedical science combines the fields of biology and medicine in order to focus on the health of humans. A degree in biomedical sciences opens up career opportunities in research centres, biotechnology, the pharmaceutical industry, product development and technology.

Biomedical science is an interdisciplinary area of study and includes aspects of anatomy and developmental biology, biochemistry, cell biology, clinical medicine, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, pharmacology and preventive medicine, and physiology. Electives allow you to design a specialised program around any of these areas, or you can choose units from other faculties to broaden your horizon. Whatever your choice, you will gain the skills you need to understand and investigate human biology and make a difference to human health in a wide variety of career paths.

The course is your invitation to join one of the largest and most successful medical research hubs in Australia and the world. Our multidisciplinary approach, presence in major hospitals and links to international researchers is making a difference to people's lives worldwide. Your research is guided by leading researchers and, in your research-based honours year, you could contribute to our world-renowned work such as, treat bowel cancer or repair damaged brains in babies.

As a graduate, you will be in a position to pursue an international research career. You may also elect to work in the hospital and medical sector, including in medical diagnostic laboratories, in secondary and tertiary teaching, in media and communications, or in the government sector in areas such as health promotion and health economics.
