Bachelor of Biomedicine

The Bachelor of Biomedicine experience extends well beyond the lecture theatre. You'll have genuine opportunities to connect with global health leaders, industry experts and researchers, while building lasting friendships with peers who will become your future professional connections.

Highlights of the Bachelor of Biomedicine experience

Make friends and seek support at the Nucleus Homeroom

The Nucleus Homeroom is your dedicated space to connect with fellow Bachelor of Biomedicine students through games, ice-breaking activities and networking events. The space is also used by students to seek support from teaching staff, industry experts and alumni. The Homeroom is frequented by global health leaders such as Peter Doherty from the Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity.

Join a welcoming student community

The Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences has more clubs and societies than any other faculty at the university, allowing you to connect with like-minded peers and make the most of student life. The Biomedicine Student's Society (BSS) is one of the university's most active and welcoming student groups. Because you share a significant portion of your subjects with your peers, the BSS can offer fantastic academic and social programs tailored to your shared journey.

From a welcoming residential 'camp' to an annual Biomedicine Ball (which raises money for a relevant charity each year), the BSS organises a range of programs. We know that further study, like GAMSAT and graduate course interviews, might be on your mind. That's why the BSS provides additional study groups and practice sessions to support your aspirations.

Connect with academic leaders outside the lecture theatre

Our 'Professors in the Park’ walks allow you to network with teaching staff, researchers and health professionals. They’re a great way to seek advice and provide feedback on your experience of the course. We care about you and are eager to know where we can improve.

Meet course alumni from a wide variety of fields

Through regular alumni events including career breakfasts, you can connect with recent graduates and find out all about the many career pathways available to you. Many of our alumni hold leadership roles or positions of influence in the health sector, shaping practice.

Your learning spaces

You'll learn in incredible, modern spaces! At our Western Edge life sciences complex, more than 700 students each day in STEMM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) will be learning in a four-level, 6-star Green Star certified building on Royal Parade. To find out more about this amazing building and the innovative project behind it, you can view the Western Edge Bioscience video.

Access to unprecedented resources

You'll have access to a wealth of incredible resources. Our three Museums – the Medical History Museum, The Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology, and the Henry Forman Atkinson Dental Museum – directly contribute to your teaching in Anatomy and Pathology, and supplement your learning experience in Dentistry and Medical History. Plus, the School of Biomedical Sciences is home to Australia's largest room-scale Virtual Reality teaching space, the Virtual Reality Learning Studio.
