Bachelor of Biomedical Science
Assessment (Internat.)
Assignemnts, group work, exams
Outline
The Bachelor of Biomedical Science would be ideally suited to persons wishing to gain a broad perspective of Biomedicine for careers or entry into a variety of health related industries, such as: Pursuing Research opportunities in Biomedical Science, Vocational directions through an Honours program in Microbiology, Occupational Health and Safety or Health Informatics, and/or seek entry to Graduate Medical, Dental Health or Veterinary careers.
Most units will incorporate a mix of competency-based skills assessment and knowledge development. Although completion of the course does not automatically guarantee entry into a Graduate Medical School, it does offer many other career paths or options to the graduate. The new graduate medical program at Deakin University and other interstate universities will provide opportunities to further specialisation and studies.
Career Opportunities
Completion of the course will provide the graduate with the skills to enter a vast range of health-related industries including, but not limited to the following: Medical Research; Physiotherapy; Microbiology; Health Informatics; Occupational Health and Safety; Environmental Health; Pharmaceutical Industry; Laboratory Technology.
As well as Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science for those graduates that satisfy the selection criteria for a graduate program, this course will be of particular interest to students wishing to take advantage of the growing need for rural and regional medical and health practitioners.
RPL and Credit Transfer
International students wishing to apply for RPL and Credit Transfer are required to provide syllabus of previous study undertaken at time of applying for course. Not all courses offer RPL and Credit Transfer. Contact the International Student Programs office at international@ballarat.edu.au
Objectives
The course will be thematically-based and take a problem-based approach to student learning. Most units will incorporate a mix of competency-based skills assessment and knowledge development. The aim is to produce a broad biomedical science graduate that might progress to graduate study in medicine, dentistry or other medical professions, enter a Honours program or the workplace.
The program has multiple objectives, with graduates able to pursue workplace opportunities, vocational research directions through an Honours program in areas such as microbiology, occupational health and safety, or health informatics, or seek entry to graduate medical careers. This course will provide students with appropriate knowledge and skills to apply to enter a graduate medical or dental health program. This is reflected in both its content (a strongly biomedical orientation) and teaching style (often in small classes, with an emphasis on problem solving and analysis and presentation of data) which is appropriate for students who plan to take the Graduate Australian Medical Schools Admissions Test (GAMSAT).
Admission to the Bachelor of Biomedical Science DOES nOT guarantee a place in a medical program.
