Program Outline

Degree Overview:

The interdisciplinary Bachelor of Medical Sciences will provide you with a broad background in biological, chemical, biomolecular and biomedical sciences – the knowledge and skills you’ll need for a career in health and medical science fields. Whether that be unravelling the molecular building blocks that underpin disease, developing new drugs to treat or cure disease, implementing biosecurity procedures to overcome emerging disease threats, or applying your scientific knowledge to help solve crimes. The Bachelor of Economics will provide you with a sound understanding of today’s complex economic environment and the skills to design economic systems that promote welfare, fairness and sustainability. You’ll learn about how modern economies operate, trade and grow; the role of prices and markets in allocating scarce resources; and the sorts of policy interventions that can be introduced when economic outcomes are less than optimal.
