Do you have any questions about the Medical & Biomedical Science study discipline?
Gaining familiarity with industry standard practices and state-of-the-art equipment was priceless.
I'm extremely grateful for the opportunities ECU provided me within research and diagnostic environments. This included working in the PC2 labs, which are set-up with ample space for conducting experiments and analysis.
My experience at ECU has exceeded my expectations in many ways.
From my very first week at ECU, I felt motivated and encouraged that I would do well. The lecturers are the best part of my study experience at ECU. They have always been supportive and helpful. I did not know that I would have the opportunity to learn so much about the practical side of biomedical science. I was aware there would be laboratory sessions but what I learnt was so much more.
I could not have asked for a better university experience
There was a great balance of laboratory and practical work at ECU, alongside the theory and lectures. I now have a strong understanding of the human body, and with extensive practical experience, I believe I can transition into studying medicine. I could not have asked for a better university experience to prepare me for the next step in my life and career.
