Overview

Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Science)

Gain an understanding of the human body and the various cellular and molecular principles that underpin human health. 

Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Science) at the University of Canberra is a flexible, cross-disciplinary degree that allows you to follow your interests. 

With 8 open elective units, you can explore areas like environmental science, human nutrition, pharmacy, sports science or data analysis. 

Enhance your employment prospects by diversifying your knowledge and broadening your skills while getting the opportunity to study what interests you the most. 

You’ll develop a strong, foundational knowledge of core science principles in chemistry, biology and professional practice while establishing critical thinking, scientific reasoning, data analysis, and communication skills specific to biomedical science. 

The Specialist Major in Biomedical Science will introduce you to the structures and functions of the human body and how humans interact and respond to their environment. 

You’ll progress from the isolated genetic, cellular and molecular principles underlying human function to understanding the major body systems and how these are regulated to maintain human health. 

Students can tailor their studies to match their interests by selecting advanced biochemistry, physiology, infectious disease or genetics and genomics units.

Work-integrated learning

Step out of the classroom and into the real world. Professional practice units are embedded into this degree, which allows you to conduct real-life experiments. 

Work with the latest technologies and clinical practices in various laboratories in industry or government settings, or explore the labs by undertaking research projects with support from UC researchers.
