This program allows students to specialise in scientific areas related to the normal function or the diseases of the human body, and is aimed at developing highly qualified graduates with the knowledge and experience appropriate for commencing a career in medical research.
At the first year level, students develop a foundation in science, which provides a base for the more advanced biomedical studies in the later years of the program. Both the second and third year levels have a strong research component, with students participating in structured research projects in the disciplines of physiology, microbiology, immunology and virology, or genetics. In parallel with the core biomedical courses, students choose other courses that provide a broad biomedical background, including anatomy, biochemistry and chemistry.
