Presentación

Studies in this discipline are available in both the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Biomedicine.

Cells are a basic building block of life. Diseases and disorders like cancer, diabetes, meningitis or even a ‘stomach bug’ are caused by dysfunction at a cellular or molecular level.

This major will provide you with a broad understanding of cells and their development, as well as the application of this knowledge to technologies to improve the human condition. It will also provide an awareness of how research in this field impacts on society. You will deal with ethical issues such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), reproductive/therapeutic cloning and genetically manipulated foods and crops.

Programa

The Bachelor of Biomedicine requires completion of a total of 300 points of study over three years full time, usually comprising four subjects per semester. Alternatively, the course can be completed in six or seven years part time.

The core of the degree builds understanding of the structure and function of the body and consideration of the determinants of health and disease, including genetic and environmental influences. The integrated core program culminates in final year subjects that deal with contemporary issues in biomedicine and aspects of medical conditions from the molecular and cellular, right up to the population level.

Depth within a particular biomedical discipline is achieved by completing 50 points (4 subjects) in a major at 3rd year level.

In second year students are required to complete two selective subjects, which can be taken from the Bachelor of Science (provided pre-requisites are met).

Students also take 75 points (one quarter of the degree) from other discipline areas. These breadth subjects are designed to bridge disciplines, sharpening skills of logic, analysis and multidisciplinary problem solving.
