COURSE DESCRIPTION
In Biomedical Science you’ll explore human disease and its treatment and prevention, and learn both fundamental and specific laboratory techniques required across the medical fields, including in medical research. Or you’ll learn about medical technology and gain analytical skills needed to succeed in medical diagnosis in Clinical Laboratory Science.
Majoring in Forensic Biology and Toxicology will see you learn to apply scientific thinking to investigate crime and even participate in simulated crime cases. You’ll discover the molecular basis of genetics and how to analyse and manipulate genes in the process of genetic engineering if you decide to major in Genetics and Molecular Biology.
You’ll also have the opportunity to increase your scope by choosing minors across other disciplines including anatomy, biology, bioinformatics, pharmacology, ethics, or science communication. Our leading academics will guide and mentor you, as you explore the human body, forensic investigation, and/or DNA and genetics in-depth through extensive hands-on practical classes.
You can also expand on your career prospects by undertaking a double major or double degree with another scientific area.
What you’ll learn
Build the knowledge and skills you need to meet your career or study goals. Here are some of the things you’ll learn:
Biology of cells and nature of life at the molecular level
The living human body and diseases that affect it
Forensic anatomy, forensic DNA typing, toxicology and presentation of forensic evidence in court
Modern analytical techniques in medical diagnosis
Data collection, scientific method and current research trends
Your future career
Upon completion of this degree, you could pursue a career in a variety of health and science related settings including both government and the private sector. Depending on what you major in, you could work in roles such as:
Medical Researcher
Medical Scientist
Forensic Scientist
Molecular Biologist
Technologist
The degree can also be used as a stepping-stone into a postgraduate vocation such as medicine, pharmacy, forensic science (professional practice) or teaching.
