About this program
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science is a 2-year accelerated degree that provides you with the ideal undergraduate foundation for a career in the health sciences. The program develops your knowledge of the molecular, cellular, anatomical, and physiological processes of the human body and prepares you for graduate-entry programs such as medicine and the allied health professions. The program will develop your knowledge and laboratory skills across a range of disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology, pharmacology, chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, and microbiology. Extensive laboratory training from the first semester, as well as case studies and problem-solving techniques, are applied within a variety of clinical, research, and allied healthcare settings. The program focuses on real-world learning, where you will gain exceptional, high-quality, practical experience in our health science laboratories. You will be able to develop and master technical-scientific and research skills using some of the latest research equipment from the very first semester. Due to Bond University’s small class sizes, you will be able to enjoy extensive use of this equipment to develop and refine your practical skills. The laboratories have dedicated laboratory staff to provide support and optimise your learning experience. An innovative feature of the program is the application of problem-based learning in the curriculum, a popular feature in medical programs that creates an engaging student learning experience to increase analytical reasoning and critical thinking skills.
