Medical and health science provides in-depth insight into the structure and function of the human body at all levels of organisation. This knowledge can be used directly to work alongside other health professionals within the medical research and clinical health fields in both private industry and hospital settings. It can also be used as an underpinning set of knowledge for postgraduate medicine, dentistry and most other allied health professional areas. It is the Medical and Health professionals in their various roles that are involved in the development of therapies, application of diagnostic methods and treatments associated with health and disease. <br><br>This degree includes opportunities for you to develop your research knowledge and skills throughout the degree, and the chance to participate in a variety of research enrichment activities with options to gain hands-on experience in the diverse range of research laboratories. This degree will ensure you are ready for a career as a research scientist, medical scientist, laboratory manager, technical writer or pharmaceutical scientist or prepare you for other postgraduate options<br><br>The first years cover the core sciences including Human and General Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physiology, and Anatomy. You then have the opportunity to customise individual programs of study with a wide selection of elective subjects that include, Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, Histology, Exercise and Cardio-Respiratory Physiology, more advanced Physiology and Anatomy subjects, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Bioethics, Philosophy, Indigenous Studies, Public Health, Work Health and Safety and all specialised areas within chemistry, with potential to also create minors in many of these and other areas. You will also develop an understanding of and demonstrate practical applications of medical research via Medical Science Research Project opportunities and the final year Honours subject.
