Study pathways
Credit will be considered if you have successfully completed higher education or TAFE studies. Advanced standing will be determined on an individual basis, depending on your eligibility for credit transfer, prior experience and qualifications. If you are seeking alternative entry into the Bachelor of Biomedical Science you can consider applying for the following: Federation Access Studies (FAST) - designed to provide you with an alternative entry method into tertiary study. Further study options: Further opportunities exist in Biomedical Science through an Honours research course comprising a focus on genetics/genomics, molecular and cellular biology, immunology, public health or health informatics. The graduate medical program at Deakin University and graduate medical, physiotherapy, dentistry, veterinary science and other courses at other interstate universities provide opportunities for further study and specialisation for those graduates that satisfy the selection criteria upon completion of this degree.
