3 years Full time or 6 years Part time
Biomedical science sits at the heart of modern medicine, research and healthcare innovation. You’ll develop a strong foundation in clinical and biological sciences, alongside the practical capability, confidence and flexibility to pursue a wide range of health and science careers. 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 Brisbane South (Nathan) campus, you’ll have a science focus. Get hands-on from your first year with real lab and cadaver-based anatomy experiences. 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 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 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.
