Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Honours)

Students in the Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Honours) at RMIT have access to a range of practical learning experiences, including using the ALS SimMan high-fidelity manikin for simulated patient interactions, the Anatomage Table for 3D digital anatomy visualisation and virtual dissection, and industry-connected placements in professional environments such as hospitals and health organisations.

Yes, the program includes industry-connected placements that give students the opportunity to work with RMIT's industry partners, such as Northern Health and VetCheck Technologies. These placements allow students to apply their studies in real-world professional environments and build valuable industry contacts, as illustrated by a graduate who secured full-time employment at St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne before graduating.

The Anatomage Table is a 3D anatomy visualisation and virtual dissection tool used in RMIT's digital human bioscience facilities. It functions as a digital cadaver, allowing students and academics to digitally explore and dissect the anatomical systems of the human body — including removing skin, the cardiovascular system, or specific organs — in an interactive and immersive way, without requiring physical dissection.

RMIT has introduced new first-year foundational subjects called 'foundations in health' across undergraduate health courses, including biomedical science. These subjects are designed to help students learn the fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology, develop communication and professional skills, and explore factors that impact individual health, particularly for First Nations people. This common first-year block also makes it easier to transfer into another course in health or biomedical sciences.

While specific campus details for the honours program are not fully outlined on this page, RMIT's biomedical and health science facilities — including medical radiation labs, simulation spaces, and the digital human bioscience facilities housing the Anatomage Table — are referenced. Many of the medical and health science labs can be found on the Bundoora campus.
