Bachelor of Biomedicine (Honours) BH-BMED- New to 2011

In 2011, the BBiomedicine (Honours) will be introduced, offering increased study opportunities for Biomedicine students within the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences.

The Bachelor of Biomedicine honours year provides students with the opportunity to integrate their previous science or technology studies with advanced studies in their biomedicine field of interest, and focus their knowledge, skills and intellect on an exciting piece of original research.

Each program within the BBiomed (hons) is comprised of two components:

  • The advanced coursework component provides opportunities for increasing students’ depth of knowledge in their particular areas of interest and expanding the theoretical basis on which they will base their research work. It provides students with the opportunity to develop expertise in the broad scientific field(s) in which their individual research project is placed, including the methodologies of the relevant field(s), and the use of the scientific literature in their specialist area of study.
  • The research project provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and technical skills in a supervised research project and develop skills in experimental design, project implementation and in the communication of the outcomes of a research project. The project develops students’ technical and data acquisition skills, their problem-solving and critical thinking capacities in the context of research, their skills in communicating to a variety of audiences and the application of appropriate risk assessment and ethical approval processes.

The following Honours programs will be available in the BBiomedicine (Hons).
