Advanced Biomedical Science (Honours) is a 4-year undergraduate degree exploring a wide range of scientific disciplines that focus on the human body in the context of health and disease. The degree covers all of the modern scientific principles required in biomedical science practice and exposes the student to contemporary scientific techniques that have been used by biomedical scientists, to develop innovative diagnostic techniques or novel treatments for disease. The Honours component is undertaken in the fourth year, allowing students to undertake a research project within a field of Biomedical Science/field of Medicine in collaboration with an academic supervisor. These projects can be undertaken in Notre Dame’s school of health sciences or school of medicine, or affiliated research institutes or hospital departments.
