Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Biomedical Science

A big focus is how scientists use laboratory tests to support patient diagnosis. You will learn about the structure and function of tissues and organs in normal and disease states. You’ll link your expert knowledge of biology and chemistry to understand biochemical pathways and their influence in disease development. You’ll explore haematology, microbiology and blood transfusion techniques that form the basis of modern medical diagnostics. In other words, students will literally learn how to save lives! Learners have 20 hours of contact time, with lectures and workshops taking up about 6-10 hours per week.
