The Bachelor of Science offers you the opportunity to study a wide range of biological sciences to provide you with the skills and techniques necessary for solving problems associated with a broad range of issues. In the first year of study students are encouraged to establish a broad science base which allows for flexibility in choosing an appropriate major or majors.
You can choose from a range of majors including Animal Science and Veterinary Studies, Applied Physics, Archaeology, Biochemistry/Biotechnology, Biodiversity, Botany, Chemistry, Computational Science, Forensic Science, Genetics, Geography, Geoscience, Mathematics, Medicinal Chemistry, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Palaeobiology, Physiology, Psychology, Zoology.
Our innovative Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours program is Australia’s only pharmacy degree that can be studied online as well as on campus. It is specifically designed to allow students to embrace the challenges of expected growth in demand for health services Australia-wide. Our program addresses the changing role of pharmacists in Australia's increasingly collaborative healthcare environment by offering a practice-based approach to teaching, with an emphasis on patient care, rural health issues and the pharmacist as a member of the primary health care team.
The degree integrates scientific rigour and the development of critical thinking skills to produce confident, career ready graduates. Students studying online are required to attend mandatory intensive schools on campus twice a year.
In the fourth or final year of the degree you will be required to undertake approximately 200 hours of clinical placements in both community and hospital pharmacies, of which some placements will be outside normal university trimester times.
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science provides an integrated approach to examining contemporary issues in health and disease. Students gain underpinning theoretical knowledge as well as practical laboratory experience in a range of discipline areas including anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology and molecular and cellular biology.
You may include a variety of other subjects in your program including Bioethics, Biophysics, Medicinal Chemistry, Psychology and the Sociology of Medicine.
The Master of Scientific Studies is a course work plus research degree designed to provide specialised training in a specific field of study. The Biomedical Science major provides the opportunity to study topics such as molecular biology and chemistry, clinical biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, immunology and haematology, endocrinology and reproductive physiology, neurobiology, genomic analysis and bioinformatics, clinical neuroscience and human development. Students also complete either a thesis embodying the results of a research project or two mini-research projects.
The Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma provide an opportunity for graduates to upgrade or extend their qualifications in a field of study not covered in depth in their undergraduate studies. Study programs are designed to meet your interests and academic background and involve a combination of coursework selected from a chosen field of study.
Please see course details for individual course rules and admissions criteria. Note some degrees have mandatory intensive schools which require attendance on campus.
