The Bachelor of Biomedical Science is a three-year undergraduate degree that will give you a basic understanding of molecular and cell biology, along with the research skills you need to start your journey towards a career in biomedical science.

To find out more about career opportunities with the Bachelor of Biomedical Science, see What can I do with my degree in Cell and Molecular Bioscience, Biomedical Science.

You'll study the relationships between humans, health and disease, and look at real-life health and medical issues like new diseases, or old diseases that resist treatment. Other areas you'll study are the role of molecular biology in health, drug design and clinical testing.

Covering the entirety of human life, from reproduction to ageing, including microbiology and pharmacology, you'll gain a solid understanding of the world of biomedical science.
