The Bachelor of Biomedicine will give students fundamental skills in scientific method, critical thinking and problem solving, the analysis of data and evidence, written and oral communication and the ability to work collaboratively in teams. Biomedicine graduates also possess specialist scientific knowledge and technical skills for further research. The degree will also provide pathways, through specific majors, to a range of masters and professionally accredited degrees.
Selected streams in the Bachelor of Biomedicine offer the option of completing an honours year after your third year of study, which will include a research project.
The University has begun to introduce a range of new graduate professional degrees which qualify students for professional registration and employment and provide a pathway to higher research degrees. From 2008-2012 at least 50% of designated places in each course will be offered as Commonwealth Supported Places.
Students enrolling in the University's graduate professional degrees will have completed a suitable undergraduate degree at The University of Melbourne or another recognised university. The graduate programs will offer highly competitive and specialised professional graduate education in a range of disciplines.
The advantages of graduate professional education are many. Studying in a graduate cohort offers the opportunity to gain a mature and detailed understanding of the relevant subject areas before committing to a particular profession, as well as the chance to participate in a rigorous and highly-specialised learning experience.
Students will benefit from the University's strong links to industry, community and professional bodies with access to internships, mentor programs and career support services. Ultimately, you will benefit from the greater employability and the higher remuneration which comes from a graduate qualification.
Completion of the new generation Bachelor of Biomedicine will provide a pathway to a range of graduate professional programs in the health sciences and other disciplines.
The Bachelor of Biomedicine is a tailored pathway into the following graduate programs:
Further professional entry graduate programs are also available in a range of disciplines including Law, Accounting, Engineering, Teaching and many more. View the full suite of professional entry graduate programs.
Applicants seeking entry into a graduate professional degree may be eligible for Graduate Access Melbourne and/or the guaranteed entry pathway.
If you wish to undertake advanced research and explore particular health science problems in more depth, upon completion of an honours year there will be opportunities to proceed to a range of Research Higher Degrees at masters and doctoral level.
