COURSE DESCRIPTION
Summary
The interdisciplinary Bachelor of Medical Sciences will provide you with a broad background in biological, chemical, biomolecular and biomedical sciences – the knowledge and skills you’ll need for a career in health and medical science fields. Whether that be unravelling the molecular building blocks that underpin disease, developing new drugs to treat or cure disease, implementing biosecurity procedures to overcome emerging disease threats, or applying your scientific knowledge to help solve crimes. The flexible Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) has a strong focus on practical learning and offers you the choice of five specialisations. You’ll learn how to identify complex problems and determine how to formulate innovative solutions to today’s complex problems. And you’ll be equipped with the skills you’ll need to mix it with history’s greatest engineers – maybe you’ll have the honour of creating the next lifesaving medical device, a clean water system for remote communities in Africa, or a mobile phone app that keeps children safe.
