The Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences is a highly flexible degree that allows you to explore different areas of biology related to human health and disease.
In the first year of this degree, you will complete foundation studies in areas of biomedical science such as:
Human biology, genetics, cell biology, microbiology, and immunology, alongside complementary learning in chemistry, scientific communication and biostatistics.
In the second and third years at Curtin University, you will branch out into the areas of biomedical science that interest you most.
Options open to you include majors in Human Biomedicine, Molecular Genetics, or Pharmacology, as well as specialisations and optional units.
All options combine theory with intensive hands-on, practical sessions in high-quality laboratory facilities, where you will work on real-world scenarios that prepare you for your future career.
Pharmacology explores the effects of drugs on living organisms and is the cornerstone for a career in drug discovery and development.
It is particularly relevant to the increasing global challenge to develop new drugs against infectious agents.
This major gives you a good understanding of drug action against microorganisms through computer-based simulations and laboratory work covering molecular, cellular and physiological responses and modern drug analysis techniques.
You will learn how drugs target specific receptors in tissues and explore the major biochemical pathways that are activated.
You’ll also learn about dose-response relationships, toxicity, drug metabolism and elimination, drug design and development, and how genetic variation between populations influences drug response.
