Biomedical science is the interface between science and medicine. It is the science of how the body works and what goes wrong in disease and is the critical backbone of scientific developments and advances in medicine and healthcare.
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science is a broad-based degree designed to offer a pathway to medicine, allied health and scientific research degrees.
The program focusses on developing your understanding of the molecular, cellular, anatomical and physiological processes that occur in the human body.
You’ll be working in the laboratories right from the first semester, analysing case studies and applying problem-solving techniques in a variety of clinical, research and allied healthcare settings. You’ll also develop important health communication skills.
Studying in Bond’s trademark small classes, you’ll have extensive access to the very latest research equipment, under the supervision of our dedicated laboratory and research staff.
Thanks to Bond’s trimester system, you can complete the Bachelor of Biomedical Science in just two years and progress seamlessly into our postgraduate health sciences programs, making this the fastest pathway to a career in Medicine, Physiotherapy, Nutrition and Dietetics, Occupational Therapy and Health Administration. This is also the only pathway into the Medical Program for international students.*
