Overview
The University of New England is at the forefront of online education and offers all courses in online format. For further information check the most up-to-date University of New England COVID-19 arrangements.
If you are interested in health and medical research or fascinated by science and its practical applications, this course will provide an ideal foundation for your career. It allows you to develop your understanding of how the human body works and gain an in-depth knowledge of the methods and techniques used to diagnose, analyse and treat disease.
The course emphasises the associations between structure and function in human biology and health, and the clinical application of knowledge into practice. You may choose to focus on a specific area of the biomedical sciences, or broaden your scope by exploring units in neuroanatomy, neurobiology, human nutrition and metabolism, and medical chemistry.
Our small class sizes and hands-on approach set us apart. You will gain practical laboratory experience in a range of disciplines including anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology and molecular and cellular biology.
Undertake a work-integrated learning unit to enhance your skills and knowledge of biomedical science in the workplace.
If you do not have the recommended scientific knowledge of HSC Chemistry or Mathematics for direct entry into this course, you may be able to enrol in UNE’s Bachelor of Scientific Studies and then transfer after successfully completing four units.
After graduating from this course, you may apply to progress to the Bachelor of Science with Honours or the Master of Science, if you have achieved sufficient grades.
