Biomedical Science

This is a prestigious program of coursework and research in Biomedical science for high achieving students who have completed the Bachelor of Biomedical Science or a comparable degree course.You will undertake research methodology training and carry out an independent research project in your specialist field, working closely with a supervisor who will provide you with individual guidance and academic counselling.

The course offers a pathway to higher level research in biomedical science.

This course consists of a combination of coursework and research. In the coursework component you will develop advanced theoretical and/or technical knowledge of your area of focus within Biomedical Science. In the research component you will develop research methodologies appropriate to your focus and plan and execute a research project under the individual guidance of an academic supervisor.
