Overview 

Edith Cowan University’s Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Medical Sciences) introduces the foundational biological and physiological principles that govern human health and disease. The course examines molecular biology, human anatomy, pathology, and laboratory diagnostic techniques. Acquiring this core scientific knowledge is vital for understanding disease mechanisms, conducting biomedical research, and supporting diagnostic services across healthcare and medical science sectors.

What You'll Learn

• Principles of human anatomy, physiology, and cell biology

• Biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology fundamentals

• Pathophysiology, disease mechanisms, and immunological responses

• Medical microbiology, pharmacology concepts, and diagnostic testing

• Laboratory safety protocols, scientific research methodology, and data analysis

Learning Outcomes 

Students will learn to analyze human biological systems and cellular processes to explain disease mechanisms, while performing standard medical laboratory procedures safely and accurately using scientific apparatus. Additionally, they will interpret experimental and clinical data to draw valid scientific conclusions, as well as apply biomedical principles and evidence-based methodologies to evaluate medical health scenarios.
