Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences
Curtin University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00301J
The Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences (B-BIOMED) is a highly flexible degree that will allow you to tailor your studies and pursue your interest in the biology of human health and disease. In first year, you will complete foundation studies in areas of biomedical science including human biology, genetics, cell biology, microbiology, and immunology. In second and third year, you can major in: Human Biomedicine, the application of biological and physiological principles to clinical practice; Molecular Genetics, in which you will learn about new advances in genetics and genomics, and how these can be applied to improve health outcomes; or Pharmacology, in which you will gain an in-depth understanding of pharmacological principles, essential to the safe and effective development and application of medicines aimed to prevent or treat disease. You may also undertake a second major, or choose one or more specialisations in Human Pathology, Immunology and Cell Biology, Microbiology, Human Genetics and Genomics, and Pharmacology. Additional option units allow you to explore your interest in areas such as Reproductive Technologies, Bioinformatics, Forensics, Psychology, and more. You are also able to complete specialisations in others disciplines such as Corporate Governance, Professional Writing, or Digital and Social Media. The choice is yours! Throughout this course, you will gain valuable hands-on experience in our high-quality laboratories using cutting-edge technology that will prepare you for a variety of careers or further study in clinical health services, biomedical research, or drug discovery and development.

Standard entry requirements
- Completed year 12 in Australia or overseas in the past two years, or
- Completed TAFE or VET studies in the past two years
- Applicants with vocational education and training (VET) study are those whose highest level of study since leaving secondary education is a VET course. This includes study at a public TAFE or other VET provider, whether a qualification was completed or not. Applicants with VET study may have other qualifications such as a Year 10 or Year 12 secondary school certificate
- Applicants with higher education are those whose highest level of study since leaving secondary education is a higher education course, such as a university degree. This may include applicants who are currently studying a higher education course at another education provider and want to transfer to Curtin University, or applicants who are currently studying at Curtin but want to switch to a different course. It may also include applicants who have completed past study with university and non-university higher education providers.
