Course Plans for Bachelor of Biomedical Science

Bachelor of Biomedical Science

Full-Time Course Plan

The following are suggested patterns of enrolment or pathways for candidates studying on a full-time or part-time basis. They take into account unit pre-requisite, co-requisite and timetabling requirements. Candidates can each year choose to study less than the full-time pattern or more units than the part-time pattern, but if doing so should use these suggested patterns as guides as to how best structure their studies.

A six credit point unit is estimated to require a total workload of approximately 150 hours per unit (this means about 12 to 15 hours per week per unit).

For candidates commencing in Trimester 1

Year	Trimester 1	Trimester 2
1	BIOL110	CHEM120
	CHEM110	PSIO120
	PSIO110	MTHS110 or MTHS120
	Group 2 Listed Unit	STAT100
2	BCHM210	BCHM220
	GENE210	MICR220
	PSIO230	LSK220
	STAT210	BCHM341
3	MICR350	Group 1 Listed Unit or Specialist Minor Unit
	PSIO220	PSIO350
	Group 1 Listed Unit or Specialist Minor Unit	Group 1 Listed Unit or Specialist Minor Unit

Notes: (i) Students who are interested in pursuing further study or a career in radiography or related areas are advised to include PHYS131 or PHYS132 from their program of study. PHYS132 can be included as a Group 2 Listed Unit in the final year of study. (ii) Students who are interested in interacting with patients are advised to include two units from PSYC101, PSYC102 or PHIL101 in their program of study. PSYC102 or PHIL101 can be included as a Group 2 Listed Unit in the final year of study. (iii) Students who wish to concentrate on Physiology can include additional PSIO units from Group 1 Listed Units as Group 2 Listed Units. (iv) Students with a GPA of 5 or better are encouraged to include SCI395 (Group 1 Listed Unit) in their program of study. Students may undertake units in Trimester 3 subject to availability.
