Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Biology

This course is a flexible general science course that provides a scientific understanding of the structure and function of the human body and how humans interact with their environment. Required units span a wide range of scientific disciplines including biology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, human anatomy and physiology, pathobiology and genetics. In addition to the compulsory units students can choose from a wide variety of approved majors/minors depending on the student’s particular interest. Majors/minors are available in a wide range of fields including psychology, biological chemistry, ecology, sports science, sociology, management, computer programming, law and foreign languages.

Bachelor of Medical Science

Would you like to work as part of a modern professional health care team, assist with research into human disease or perhaps find out more about this thing called the human genome? Medical Science at the University of Canberra is the course for you.

The Medical Science course introduces a study of both the normal and pathological processes involved in the functioning of the human body. This requires a firm basis in chemistry and biology, with more detailed studies of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, which lead into examinations of pathology, immunology, haematology, microbiology and clinical biochemistry. Our students develop expertise and learn skills in investigating patient clinical history and scientific information to interpret disease processes.
