Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Science)
The BSc (Biomedical Science) requires 3 years of full-time
study and satisfactory completion of 144 credit points including
at least 24 credit points at 300-level. The degree provides
a solid foundation of study in areas such as anatomy, physiology,
chemistry, biochemistry, neuroscience, biology and research
methods.
Opportunities for improved vocational outcomes through simultaneous
enrolment in the BSc (Biomedical Science) degree and practical
skills degrees programs, such as the Diploma of Health Science
(Pathology Techniques) offered by TAFE NSW, may be available
in 2000. In addition, the degree may be taken as a double
degree program with the Bachelor of Commerce (BSc/BCom) and
completed in 4-years of full-time study.
The BSc (Biomedical Science) provides an excellent first degree
for students wishing to enrol in postgraduate studies in medicine,
teaching and research. Students seeking a research orientation
are encouraged to complete a BSc (Honours) year and then seek
enrolment in either an MSc (Honours) or a PhD degree program.
