Bachelor of Medical and Health SciencesUniversity of Wollongong (Wollongong Campus)

Medical and health scientists play an important role working alongside other health professionals within the medical research and clinical health fields in both private industry and hospital settings. Using the scientific bases of human structure, function and health, medical and health scientists are involved in the development of therapies, treatments and health services.

In your first year you will cover human biology, physiology, biochemistry and anatomy. After studying the core science areas, you’ll have the chance to customise your program of study with elective subjects that cover areas such as pathophysiology, pharmacology, histology, exercise and cardiorespiratory physiology, genetics, molecular biology, and specialised areas within chemistry, anatomy, bioethics and public health. Honours (Dean’s Scholar) students will develop an understanding of and demonstrate practical applications of medical research via a core stream of research methodology subjects, as well as the final year Honours subject.
