Bachelor of Biomedical Research (Honours)

Course Overview

This honours degree is for students who have successfully completed a relevant bachelor's degree in biomedical science, pharmacy, pharmaceutical science, nutrition and food sciences, natural sciences or laboratory medicine. You'll develop and extend your research skills and specialist knowledge. The intensive research experience you'll get from the Bachelor of Biomedical Research (Honours) will confidently prepare you for a career in research or further studies, such as a PhD. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with researchers and contribute to the development of knowledge in your area of specialisation. You'll learn transferable skills such as research training, reporting, communication and presentation skills, data analysis and high-level project management skills. During the first six months you'll explore research methodologies, research hypotheses and proposals. You'll also gain an awareness of ethical research practice. During the final six months you'll be required to analyse, understand and contextualise your research results. You'll then prepare a written thesis and present your findings during a research seminar. This advanced, highly regarded qualification will build on your undergraduate studies with a greater depth of knowledge of research methodology and research practice in a specialisation of your choice. You'll benefit from UniSA's many decades of experience working with industry across scientific fields. Our strong links with internationally-renowned research groups, such as the Centre for Cancer Biology (an alliance between UniSA and SA Pathology) will help you grow your specialist knowledge in the areas of biomedical, pharmaceutical, biological and chemical sciences.
