I learned from
passionate and
approachable
researchers
“
The lecturers and tutors are
incredibly passionate about
what they teach, and very
approachable. Alongside
teaching, many of them run
amazing research programs.
Throughout the degree we’ve
learned about important
biomedical research that our
lecturers have been directly
involved in.

FURTHER STUDY OPTIONS
The Bachelor of Biomedicine is an
ideal pathway into the University’s
health-related graduate professional
entry degrees, such as the Doctor of
Medicine, Doctor of Dental Surgery,
Doctor of Optometry and Doctor of
Physiotherapy. You can also choose
to undertake further study in other
professional areas, including biomedical
engineering, nursing, public health,
genetic counselling, speech pathology,
clinical audiology and social work.
You may also be interested in a career
in biomedical research or related felds,
which you can pursue by undertaking
a research higher degree (following an
honours year) or the Master of Science.
Completing Biomedicine also gives you
the opportunity to undertake a pathway
into other areas such as law, applied
