COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Advanced Biomedical Science (Hons) is a research-focused degree, designed for high-ATAR students with an interest in biomedical science research.
In your first year, you’ll study interprofessional course units with students from other disciplines, alongside units specific to this course.
From your second year, you’ll study your chosen major – either in Discovery Bioscience or Clinical Medical Science – and will progress your research skills in experimental design, ethics, statistical analysis, scientific writing, data management and critical interpretation.
You’ll undertake project units with strong industry and research collaborations that give you guided practical experience in biomedical research. You’ll also participate in a research roadshow in a variety of operational research settings, such as laboratories and clinical trial sites.
There are opportunities to undertake extracurricular activities to further develop your research skills.
In your final year, you’ll complete a full-year research program within the laboratory of an approved university, research institute or industry research site.
Discovery Bioscience
In Discovery Bioscience, you’ll look at ways we’re advancing our knowledge of the biological processes that underpin a person’s health, including studies in genomics, bioinformatics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics, and the application of new technologies.
