New Bachelor of Biomedicine

The University of Tasmania (UTAS) will be offering the new Bachelor of Biomedicine from semester 1, 2024.  This biomedicine course is designed and will be taught by active medical researchers at the Tasmanian School of Medicine and the School of Health Sciences. It also draws on the expertise of the specialist research and teaching institutes: the Menzies Institute for Medical Research, and the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre. 

As the single university for Tasmania, students will have unparalleled access and connection to the local community, health system, and institutes.  This means that throughout their studies, students are learning from experts who are directly engaged with the health sector both locally, nationally, and internationally. 

Chemistry is a prerequisite for entry into this course.  This degree may allow further study into medicine.
