Program aims

The Bachelor of Biomedical Science aims to provide education and training for a career in biomedical sciences. Biomedical scientists provide the scientific support and research for medicine and support industries related to medicine, such as the pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies. Graduates will have a knowledge base and skills that will fit them for a career in medical research, pathology services, public health laboratories, diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries. They will have a broad education allowing them to diversify after graduation, including seeking entry into professional programs in the health sciences.
