This minor provides a complementary set of biomedical units to many degree structures that can potentially qualify the student for entry into relevant postgraduate vocational programs, as well as provide vital background studies for the entry examination for postgraduate medicine. It is suited to students with a biological background who are interested in science-based careers with a strong emphasis on theoretical as well as laboratory-based training.
This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
