Overview 

Edith Cowan University’s Bachelor of Biomedical Science provides a comprehensive foundation in the biological sciences that underpin human health, medicine, and disease research. The curriculum explores human physiology, cell biology, genetics, and biochemistry to uncover how human body systems operate at cellular and systemic levels. Acquiring this core scientific knowledge is vital for driving diagnostic advancements, conducting biomedical research, and developing innovative solutions to contemporary health challenges.

What You'll Learn

• Principles of human structure and function, cell biology, and systemic physiology

• Genetics, molecular biology techniques, and cellular inheritance processes

• Human biochemistry, metabolic pathways, and enzymatic functions

• Pathophysiology, mechanisms of disease, and host immune responses

• Scientific research design, laboratory safety protocols, and quantitative data analysis

Learning Outcomes 

Students will learn to analyze biological and chemical pathways to explain healthy human function and disease states, while applying laboratory skills and modern scientific tools to conduct experimental research safely. Additionally, they will interpret experimental data and scientific literature to formulate evidence-based conclusions, as well as communicate scientific concepts effectively to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
