Bachelor of Biomedical Science

Biomedical science helps society through applying new scientific knowledge to medicine and healthcare. Gain an understanding of health and the methods for diagnosing and treating disease. If you study this degree on the Gold Coast campus, you'll have a health focus. If you study at the South Brisbane – Nathan campus, you'll have a science focus. In your first year, you’ll be introduced to the basic sciences underpinning biomedical science. In your second and third years, you’ll explore more advanced aspects of the biomedical and clinical sciences, including genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, anatomy, physiology, immunology, microbiology, infectious disease, pharmacology and neuroscience. Learn through laboratory-based training in the biomedical sciences in cutting-edge facilities, with simulated teaching environments and virtual reality technology. In addition to learning about the methods for researching, diagnosing and treating disease, you'll learn how humans work at every level, from our cells to the whole of our bodies. You'll develop knowledge and skills in clinical and biological sciences, and understand how they can be applied to medicine, biomedical research and other healthcare professions. This degree also provides an excellent foundation for you to progress to postgraduate degrees in health professions such as Griffith’s Doctor of Medicine.
