The Bachelor of Medical Research is a research-led course, providing a strong foundation in medical research. It is designed to help you develop the skills to push the boundaries of what science knows about human health. If you've got a passion for saving lives, helping people and conducting scientific experiments, then this is the degree program for you.

At its core are the concepts and principles underlying human health and disease, as well as an understanding of the technologies, strategies and tools used to address medical research problems.

In choosing the Bachelor of Medical Research you will:

• Build a degree that is tailored to your own interests: your choices for a Major are Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Pathology or Anatomy and Physiology
• Learn from active research scientists who are well equipped to teach research methods and skills as they apply to their disciplines.
• Acquire transferable skills – teamwork, critical thinking and the ability to communicate clearly - that will equip you for lifelong learning
• Enjoy practical real-world learning experiences such as laboratory work and participation in project-based research

This vital field of medical work requires its practitioners to have a strong aptitude for science, the ability to make clear and precise observations, to work accurately under pressure, and be able to identify and analyse problems and develop practical solutions.

What do medical researchers do?
