Bachelor of Biomedicine

The Biomedicine degree includes core subjects and 15 majors to choose from. This provides you with the foundations for a broad range of professional health pathways. Core second and third year subjects - available only to you as a Biomedicine student. The two second year integrated subjects emphasize the relationships between different biomedical disciplines - its about enhancing your understanding of the human body in its full complexity. In third year the core subjects take on a more clinical (Molecules to Malady) or Population (Frontiers in Biomedicine) focus, tying all the elements of your Biomedicine journey together. The Bachelor of Biomedicine is ideal preparation for a career in medicine and professional health. While one third of our graduates enter the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program at this university - representing over half of the domestic intake for the MD - even more choose another graduate course at Melbourne.
