Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences

You can choose to study one or two majors from Human Biomedicine, Molecular Genetics, or Pharmacology. If you select a single major, you can add a health specialisation in Cell Biology, Human Genetics, Human Pathology, Immunology, Microbiology or Pharmacology, or choose another discipline specialisation such as Corporate Governance.

In your first year, you will study human biology, genetics, cell biology, microbiology and immunology, as well as areas of biostatistics, chemistry and science communication. You'll then select either one or two majors, plus specialisations and optional units.

In Curtin's Physical Containment Level 2 Laboratory, you can analyse samples and report results in the same way as a real industry pathology laboratory. All majors and specialisations combine theory with practical laboratory sessions where you'll work on real-world industry scenarios.

You can study optional units in career-specific areas such as forensics, bioinformatics, psychology and reproductive technologies, allowing you to let your interests guide your studies.

You must meet Curtin's English language requirements. For this course, the IELTS Academic requirement is an overall band score of 6.5, with minimum scores of 6 in each of Writing, Speaking, Reading, and Listening. If you have completed a different English test or qualification, you may be able to use it to meet this requirement.
