Bachelor of Biomedicine

The Melbourne Bachelor of Biomedicine equips bright, enquiring minds for the complex challenges of health care. It provides the solid foundation necessary to prepare students for health-related and other professional programs as well as specialised graduate research.

Biomedicine is concerned with the processes and systems that create, sustain and threaten life. Our understanding of the biomedical sciences continues to grow and will enable individuals to contribute in the health care sector, the laboratory and the broader community. Health professionals, biomedical scientists, bioengineers and others are critical to both the discovery and application of knowledge in biomedicine.

At the core of the degree is the understanding of the structure and function of the body and consideration of the determinants of disease, including genetic and environmental influences. Students undertaking the Bachelor of Biomedicine also develop fundamental skills in the scientific method, critical thinking and problem solving, the analysis of evidence and communication. The degree encourages a choice of subjects from outside the core program that permits students to define a broader context for their degree that will suit their own ambitions.

Bachelor of Biomedicine graduates are creative and curious. They have highly developed analytical and problem-solving skills with a strong basis in the scientific method. They are effective written and oral communicators and have in-depth knowledge in chosen aspects of biomedicine, according to discipline specialisation. They demonstrate an ability to work collaboratively and have an appreciation of the application of biomedical knowledge and skills to individuals and populations.
