    Advanced Biomedical Sciences (Honours)

    About

    The Bachelor of Advanced Biomedical Science (Honours) is a research-focused degree, designed for high-ATAR students with an interest in biomedical science research.

    In your first year, youll study interprofessional course units with students from other disciplines, alongside units specific to this course.

    From your second year, youll study your chosen major – either in Discovery Bioscience or Clinical Medical Science – and will progress your research skills in experimental design, ethics, statistical analysis, scientific writing, data management and critical interpretation.

    Youll undertake project units with strong industry and research collaborations that give you guided practical experience in biomedical research. Youll also participate in a research roadshow in a variety of operational research settings, such as laboratories and clinical trial sites.

    There are opportunities to undertake extracurricular activities to further develop your research skills.

    In your final year, youll complete a full-year research program within the laboratory of an approved university, research institute or industry research site.

    The two majors are detailed below:

    Discovery Bioscience

    In Discovery Bioscience, youll look at ways were advancing our knowledge of the biological processes that underpin a persons health, including studies in genomics, bioinformatics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics, and the application of new technologies.

    Clinical Medical Science

    If you choose Clinical Medical Science, youll study clinical biosciences and emerging therapies, including population and personalised medicine, and clinical trials. Youll also receive a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, immunology and regenerative medicine.
