Bachelor of Biomedicine

The University of Melbourne

The Bachelor of Biomedicine is ideal preparation for a career in medicine and professional health. While one third of our graduates enter the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program at this university – representing over half of the domestic intake for the MD – even more choose another graduate course at Melbourne.Completing the Bachelor of Biomedicine has never been a compulsory or privileged path to the Doctor of Medicine (MD), it’s a good strategy – especially when you’re following your passion. The recently announced changes to the MD curriculum 1 make this strategy more salient by providing you with a firm foundation in biomedical sciences. Find out more about these changes. The Melbourne Medical School (MMS) aims to recognise prior knowledge for core content. So, if you’ve studied the Bachelor of Biomedicine this frees you up so that you’ll have more time to explore the clinical, research and discovery tracks and create your own distinct path. You’ll be able to take full advantage of the innovative MD curriculum by jumping higher and faster.OutcomesThe Bachelor of Biomedicine has the flexibility to deliver a range of outcomes. Students are more frequently selected into the Melbourne Medical program than those from any other program in Australia. Others follow pursuits such as dentistry, biomedical research or bioengineering, and a small but growing number combine the degree with graduate law, commerce or management.
