The Diploma in Biomedical Science is an important stepping-stone toward achieving your career and study goals.

Undertaking the ACU Diploma in Biomedical Science will help you to develop the academic skills and university experience needed to succeed in more advanced tertiary study. Whether you have just finished Year 12 or finished years ago, our Diploma in Biomedical Science is a Commonwealth supported place (CSP-funded) and will help you achieve your goals. We are here to support you from start to finish. We ensure smaller class sizes, offer tailored support as you transition to university study, and provide a range of student services to help you succeed.

When the student successfully completes the approved pathway at the required level, the university may accept that pathway for English entry without requiring a new IELTS, TOEFL or PTE result.
