Our science courses (also known as subjects or clases at some Universities) are available to students studying Bachelor of Science and the new Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences. Students undertaking other Bachelor programs may also enrol in our courses as electives.
The Science curriculum is undergoing a major review between 2008 to 2010 and old courses will be progressively replaced during this period. In 2008 we are offering a brand new 1st year Biology course “Cells to Organisms”.
In 2009 and 2010 there will be new courses in 2nd and 3rd years respectively. Students are advised to consult the Science Faculty for more details. The School also offers many other courses for professional degree programs (such as Medicine) and students should consult their relevant Faculty webpages.
We offer:
- exciting courses with significant practical components
- quality teaching with award winning staff
- a committment to the individual student

Unique Research Opportunities in Biomedical Sciences
Our undergraduate subjects or courses in Biomedical Sciences are distinguished from other leading Universities across Australia and internationally by the unique opportunities for students to engage in cutting edge scientific research. From the very first year of their studies students are exposed to a research rich environment. Students can gain valuable experience by working in the laboratories of some of Australia’s leading biomedical scientists as part of their Bachelor program. In the final year students can undertake an “Honours” year where they are embedded in a lab and undertake a detailed research project. During this year students must design and execute a research project, write a thesis and then defend it publicly. This year is a milestone of the undergraduate program and is a significant experience highly cherished by our graduates.
