Bachelor of Medical Research
University of Tasmania - Hobart
Overview
Uncover the mysteries of human health and disease, to expand our knowledge and contribute towards the global effort to preventing, managing, and treating disease.
The Bachelor of Medical Research is a research-focused course, designed and taught by active medical researchers at our Tasmanian School of Medicine. Your learning will also draw from the expertise of our specialist research and teaching institutes: the Menzies Institute for Medical Research, and the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre.
It is designed to help you develop the skills to push the boundaries of what science knows about human health. If you've got a passion for saving lives, helping people and conducting scientific experiments, then this is the degree program for you.
You will build a strong foundation in biomedical sciences, developing your research skills, and giving you a deeper understanding of the technologies, strategies and tools used to address medical research problems. As you progress, you will cement that knowledge through research-focused core units that make up one third of your studies. In these, you’ll develop valuable knowledge and skills in research methodology, scientific observation and analysis, and advance your ability to identify and solve problems, think critically and communicate science to a broad audience.
Medical research is a global profession, and we share our networks and experience with you as we connect you to a global knowledge-base of research groups, institutes, and organisations through our ongoing collaborations and research.
