Overview

Bachelor of Biomedical Science

Develop an in-depth understanding of human biology with Deakin's Bachelor of Biomedical Science and graduate with the skills and experience to play an essential role in diagnosing and treating diseases at molecular, cellular and systems levels. 

Expertise in biology and the science behind disease puts you in a position to make a real difference. 

Explore early diagnosis, disease progression and prognosis, and pharmaceutical science's role in treating disease and improving health.

You can customise your degree by choosing from a broad range of specialisations, enabling you to learn more about what you love and become an expert in your field of interest. 

Students must complete one of the following major sequences:

  • Environmental Health
  • Infection and Immunity
  • Medical Biotechnology
  • Medical Genomics
  • Molecular Life Sciences
  • Pharmaceutical Science

You will get hands-on training in world-class laboratories, test your findings in real-life biomedical settings, and gain industry experience with 80 to 160 hours of work placement.

Work experience

You’ll gain practical experience by completing a minimum 80-hour (maximum of 160 hours) placement at a course-related host organisation. 

This provides opportunities for workplace visits, field trips, and industry learning and helps establish valuable networks, giving you better insight into your possible career outcomes.

You’ll also have the opportunity to undertake a discipline-specific industry placement as part of your course. 

Elective units may also provide additional opportunities for work-integrated learning experiences.
