Bachelor of Biomedicine

The Bachelor of Biomedicine offers 16 majors, allowing students to deepen their understanding in an area that truly sparks their interest. The page does not list all majors by name, but notes that these specialisations build on a strong foundation in biomedical science established in the first year.

The Melbourne Biomedical Precinct is the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere. The university is surrounded by more than 40 hospitals, research institutions, teaching facilities, and biotechnology organisations, making it an incredibly sought-after hub for global biomedical leaders. The university actively collaborates with research and industry partners, ensuring your education is connected to the cutting edge of the field.

Breadth subjects allow students to dedicate up to a quarter of their studies to other areas outside of biomedicine. This exposure to different ways of thinking, various interests, and a wider range of career paths is incredibly enriching. Popular breadth subjects among Bachelor of Biomedicine students include Our Planet, Our Health; Drugs That Shape Society; Drawing With Anatomy; Positive Leadership and Careers; Foundations of Information Systems; Privacy Law and Social Networks; AUSLAN and Visual Communication; and Health From a Different Perspective. With some additional study, students can even pursue a concurrent diploma alongside their Biomedicine degree.

Generally, they mean the same thing, with degrees called different names by various universities and countries. The University of Melbourne offers both a Bachelor of Biomedicine and a Bachelor of Biomedicine with Honours.

Yes, the Biomedicine Student's Society (BSS) is one of the university's most active and welcoming student groups. Because students share a significant portion of their subjects with peers, the BSS offers fantastic academic and social programs tailored to the shared journey, including a welcoming residential 'camp', an annual Biomedicine Ball (which raises money for a relevant charity each year), and additional study groups and practice sessions for those preparing for further study like GAMSAT and graduate course interviews.
