Your BSc programme will consist of a number of courses worth 15 points each, totalling 360 points. You can choose to keep your Biomedical Science specialisation general, or you can follow one of nine pathways as a way to focus your studies further.

If you choose this specialisation, you must complete the Biomedical Science capstone course, BIOMED 399, plus the compulsory courses listed in the plan schedule. For schedule information, including all compulsory and elective courses, visit the Curriculum Catalogue.

If you began your degree prior to 2019 we recommend you seek advice from Student Hubs to make sure you are taking the correct courses. 

As a Biomedical Science student you’ll take compulsory core courses in your first year of study. After your first year you can keep your Biomedical Science specialisation general, or you can choose one of the following pathways:

• Anatomical Imaging Science
• Cancer Biology and Therapeutics
• Cardiovascular Biology
• Cellular and Molecular Biomedicine
• Genetics
• Infection and Immunity
• Neuroscience
• Nutrition and Metabolism
• Reproduction and Development

To enrol in a pathway use the Choose your pathway form.

Some students will feel more prepared for our Biomedical Science courses if they have already studied some science subjects in high school.

Find out which school subjects will help you feel prepared by reading our Subject guide for school students.
