MJRU-HUMBM v.1 Human Biomedicine Major
Major/Stream Overview
This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information.
Biomedicine is the application of biological and physiological principles to clinical practice. In this major, students will complete significant integrated study in applied human anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience. Students will gain valuable hands-on experience in our high-quality laboratory facilities using cadaveric specimens and physiology equipment. The Human Pathology extension specialisation will allow students to extend their studies into Clinical Pathophysiology and Neurophysiology, and more broadly prepare them for a career in clinical health.services.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials. Students must obtain an Anatomy License and may be required to purchase a laboratory coat and safety glasses for the laboratory component.
