Overview
Key facts
Biomedical science has direct relevance to everyone; it has a defining influence on our quality of life, the pursuit of healthy living and our capacity to diagnose and treat disease.
The Master of Biomedical Science - Food Biochemistry course at The University of Western Australia draws on the disciplines of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and neuroscience to understand normal human biology (including our evolutionary history). It also uses the paraclinical disciplines of microbiology, pathology and pharmacology to understand and treat human disease.
Why study biomedical science?
- You’ll have the opportunity to pursue advanced study in your biomedical science specialisation. Emphasis is placed on cutting-edge research and its translation to healthy living and to clinical settings of diagnosis and treatment of disease.
- While research training within a specific discipline is available as part of the course (e.g. advanced laboratory skills and their application within an independent research project), this is not obligatory.
- Therefore, you’ll be able to focus on building discipline-specific knowledge and an understanding of how this knowledge is applied.
- Regardless of the amount of research training undertaken, the course places strong emphasis on developing research literacy, with thorough interrogation of the scientific literature and its communication.
Career Pathways
- Graduates of the course will be well positioned to pursue careers in international research laboratories, government agencies as well as the private sector.
- The course may provide graduates with a pathway to a PhD (an alternative to the conventional Honours pathway) depending on their unit selection.
- Graduates may also progress to professional degrees including medicine, dentistry and pharmacy.
