Bachelor of Biomedical Science (pre 2017)

The University of Newcastle

About

This program is for continuing students only and from 2017 is replaced by the Bachelor of Biomedical Science (40097).Graduates are trained in basic knowledge of the structure and function of living organisms with particular focus on the human.

Using this knowledge, together with problem solving skills, critical reasoning and scientific methods taught in the program, the graduate is well prepared to collaborate on scientific investigations of human structure and function in health and disease at a molecular, cellular and whole systems level.
