Bachelor of Biomedical Science

About

Biomedical science forms the basis of our understanding of how human bodies function, and the responses of the body to diseases, exercise, diet, internal disturbances and environmental influences.

The Bachelor of Biomedical Science at RMIT offers two options.

You can choose the Biomedical Science option and undertake a specialist minor in medical biotechnology or clinical health and disease or the Osteopathy “3+2” option where, combined with the two-year Master of Clinical Osteopathy, is a pathway to become an osteopath.
