Bachelor of Biomedical Science
RMIT University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A
Biomedical science forms the basis of our understanding of how human bodies function, and the responses of the body to various diseases, exercise, diet, internal disturbances and environmental influences. RMITs Bachelor of Biomedical Science will equip you with a fundamental understanding of the human body and how it interacts with disease: how it occurs, what happens, and how we can control, cure and prevent it. Studying in purpose-built facilities, youll develop an understanding of the research process and gain practical experience with the modern technologies used in biomedical research, ensuring you are job-ready when you graduate.
