Career Opportunities
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science is a highly relevant and appropriate qualification for entry into postgraduate medicine. This course provides a solid foundation for the areas tested in GAMSAT, the entrance examination for postgraduate medicine. Many opportunities are also available for postgraduate study in science at QUT, including Honours and postgraduate courses in Life Sciences.
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science is also designed for students seeking a science-based qualification that will lead to career opportunities in medical biotechnology, medical microbiology, and clinical biochemistry fields.
Recommended Study
Biological Science is recommended.
Course Design
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science comprises first-year studies in chemistry, physics, anatomy, physiology and cell biology, providing a solid knowledge base for GAMSAT. Units in the second and third years combine advanced studies with theoretical, practical, and problem-solving skills. Several units in the area of humanities and applied health are an integral part of the course.
Students will be well prepared to sit GAMSAT which is designed to evaluate mastery and use of concepts in basic science as well as the acquisition of more general skills in problem solving, critical thinking and writing. The Bachelor of Biomedical Science provides a solid grounding in GAMSAT testing areas: reasoning in humanities and social sciences, written communication, reasoning in biological and physical sciences (including chemistry, biology and physics).
Professional Recognition
Depending on the subjects selected in the final year of the course, graduates will be eligible for membership of one or more of the following organisations: Australian Association of Clinical Biochemists, AusBiotech Ltd, Australian Society for Microbiology.
