This honours degree is tailored for high-ATAR students interested in biomedical science research, offering majors in Discovery Bioscience and Clinical Medical Science, and culminating in a full-year research program.
This honours degree is designed for high-ATAR students with an interest in biomedical science research.
In your first year, you will study units specific to this course and interprofessional units with students from other disciplines.
From your second year, you'll study your chosen major - either Discovery Bioscience or Clinical Medical Science - and build skills in experimental design, ethics, statistical analysis, data management, critical interpretation and scientific writing.
You'll undertake project units with strong industry and research collaborations that provide guided practical experience in biomedical research.
You'll also participate in a research roadshow in operational research settings, such as laboratories and clinical trial sites, and have opportunities for extracurricular activities that further develop your research skills.
In your final year, you'll complete a full-year research program in the laboratory of an approved university, research institute or industry site.
Discovery BioscienceExplore how knowledge of the biological processes that underpin a person's health is advancing. Topics include genomics, bioinformatics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics, as well as the application of new technologies.
Clinical Medical ScienceStudy clinical biosciences and emerging therapies through topics that include population and personalised medicine, and clinical trials. You'll also gain a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, immunology and regenerative medicine.
