Course Overview
Study the sciences that underpin human medicine.
In the Bachelor of Biomedicine, you’ll build a strong foundation across the core biomedical sciences - anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, neuroscience, genetics, immunology, and microbiology.
You’ll also have the chance to tailor your learning through two majors: Medical Research and Medical Sciences. Choose one to focus your expertise, or study both to broaden your skills and open more career and study options after graduation.
Learn from experts connected to the healthcare sector
Your lecturers are active researchers based in the Tasmanian School of Medicine and the School of Health Sciences. You’ll also benefit from connections to our world-class research institutes, including the Menzies Institute for Medical Research and the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre.
With strong links to the local health system and research community, you’ll be learning from experts engaged with the real-world health challenges of today - locally, nationally, and globally.
A launchpad to your future career or further study
This degree sets you up for success in a wide range of careers - or as a pathway to further study in areas such as allied health, medicine, or medical research.
You might consider:
An Honours year to build your research experience. This is available through the Bachelor of Medical Research with Honours.
Postgraduate Allied Health qualifications in fields like physiotherapy, speech pathology or occupational therapy.
Laboratory Medicine, via the Master of Laboratory Medicine or our new Bachelor of Biomedicine/Master of Laboratory Medicine double degree -graduate with both in just four years.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
