Overview

Bachelor of Biomedical Science

Biomedical science forms the basis of understanding how human bodies function and the responses of the body to various diseases, exercise, diet, internal disturbances and environmental influences.

The Bachelor of Biomedical Science at RMIT has been designed to equip you with a fundamental understanding of the human body and how it interacts with disease: how it occurs, what happens, and how we can control, cure and prevent it. 

Studying in purpose-built facilities, you'll develop an understanding of the research process and gain practical experience with the modern technologies used in biomedical research, ensuring you are job-ready when you graduate.

You'll have the flexibility to choose your specialisation. 

Specialist areas include cell biology, neuroscience, human anatomy, human physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology.

This biomedical science degree is an ideal preparation for graduate entry into health sciences degrees such as medicine, physiotherapy and dentistry. 

It also prepares you for entry into postgraduate honours and higher degree research programs.

During your first year of study, you will undertake a work-integrated learning project, which will involve taking a project from concept through experimental design and action to communicating it in an industry-standard poster presentation.

During your third year of study, you will undertake a research project (capstone project) in a university research laboratory or a professional organisation.
