Life as a Biomedical Sciences student

STUDENT STORY

Sally Tan

I'm majoring in Pharmacology and Finance. Before I chose them I'd heard positive feedback from friends and family. Being in my third year now, I can definitely understand where they were coming from.

Mia Zekovic-Bosnjak

hear from a student

Mia Zekovic-Bosnjak

Meet Mia - a third year Bachelor of Biomedical Science student, who is majoring in Anatomy and Human Biology, with a minor in Brain and Behaviour.

Amongst Mia's busy schedule, she also finds time to work three days a week and volunteer one day a week at the Perth Children's Hospital.

Mia's studies are challenging, but rewarding, and she credits the supportive work environment, open student engagement and diverse learning environments at UWA to her enjoyment and success.

"Whilst all my peers are on their own academic journey, I can confidently say that my UWA experience has without a doubt been filled with endless support."

Mia has formed bonds with students and professionals from all walks of life and is grateful to have this network that will remain with her after university.

Along Mia's journey, she had the opportunity to intern at Orana House; a not-for-profit organisation that provides accommodation, holistic support and services to women and children fleeing family and domestic violence.

Mia interned over the summer holidays, by taking the McCusker Centre for Citizenship Internship unit, which offered six credit points toward her degree and immersed her in an invaluable real-life experience she will never forget.

The unforgettable connections Mia formed at Orana House led to her landing a job there too.

"I've learnt that these opportunities don't come to you, you have to chase them and make them happen. UWA not only provides you the opportunities to do this, however, gives you the confidence to take the challenge on!"

Mia believes experiences like this, and other opportunities that are offered to Bachelor of Biomedical Science students are preparing them for their future careers.

From career events, to presentations from professionals in the science industry, to being provided the opportunity to reach out and work with research institutions either via internships or indirectly such as the Perron Institute, and so much more.

Mia expresses how it is common in the final teaching week of the semester of level three units for students to be taught skills to enhance their employability such as resume writing and interview skills. Students are informed of upcoming graduate programs, to ensure they are on the pathway to success upon graduating.

Mia has shared some advice for anyone who is considering studying at UWA:

"Get informed, ask questions, make memories, meet new people and always be open to learn from everyone and everything. It all shapes who you are, the skills you acquire and the knowledge that you generate."

STUDENT STORY

Nicola Principe

student story

Rebecca Kaard

Microbiology and Immunology, and Pathology and Laboratory Medicine student

I was in hospital for most of high school with kidney disease caused by an unusual bacterium and that really sparked my interest in the field and the impact these microscopic organisms can have on people's lives.

UWA has been an integral part of my family for decades. My dad studied medicine here 40 years ago and has been taking me and my siblings to open days since we were able to walk.

The lab work is by far the most interesting part of my course. It's great to be able to put into practice all the things you are learning and get a taste of the work you'll do in labs once you graduate.

Studying postgraduate medicine and specialising in immunology or going into research would be my ideal career path - and maybe a Nobel Prize for Medicine if I can fit it in.
