Macquarie’s 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 the health and medical science fields.
Infectious disease and biosecurity are two of the most pressing scientific issues facing society.
A growing human population, increased global connectivity, urbanisation, climate change and intensive farming practices all create a greater connection between people, animals, plants and the infectious diseases each carry.
Biosecurity is how we prevent and control emerging infectious diseases and protect the planet’s resources.
In the Infectious Diseases and Biosecurity major, you’ll study the significance of the intersection between humans and the environment, wildlife and domestic animals in disease dynamics, and how this is relevant to health biosecurity.
You’ll develop skills in applying disease transmission theory to epidemiology in the lab and devising a biosecurity response plan.
Your ability to communicate infectious disease and biosecurity concepts in various modes will boost your career prospects.
