• Objectives
  Biomedical Science is the study of the human body, its structure and function in health and disease. The Bachelor of Biomedical Science degree is a structured program that develops student knowledge in the molecular, cellular, anatomical and physiological processes of the human body. There is a strong emphasis on developing scientific communication skills, plus technical skills, including working with state of the art scientific equipment. Extensive laboratory training and problem solving with a case study approach to teaching, emphasise the applications of Biomedical Science within a variety of clinical, research and allied healthcare settings.
• Practical experience
  Work Experience & Internships Internships are available with permission from the faculty. This intensely practical professional development approach fosters graduates who are ready, willing and able to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact in the workplace. Eligible students may also participate in the Bond University Smart State Undergraduate Internships Program.
• Entry requirements
  Year 12 results or equivalent results that include English, Maths B and either Chemistry or Physics. Students without year 12 Chemistry maybe required to complete a bridging Chemistry subject. International applicants also need to satisfy English Language Requirements.
