Biomedical Science
Breakthroughs in biomedical research have changed the way in which we identify and cure a variety of health issues. Biomedicine is at the forefront of technology — and it’s changing lives.
With a biomedical degree, you’ll learn to analyse and interpret complex data, then use it to make a positive difference to people’s lives.
Explore biology, medicine, disease, chemistry and physiology (all touchpoints of biomedical science degrees) and apply your fundamental understanding of human anatomy, microbiology, biochemistry and physiology to real-world situations.
We’re the only university in Australia with MRI and MEG labs on campus, so when you graduate, you’ll be confident in using the latest technology.

Study Biomedical Science at Swinburne
Hear from Tara and Don who have taken a year out from studying biomedical science to complete paid professional placements as cardiac technologists at Monash Heart. From conducting exercise tests to putting heart monitors on newborn twins, they’re both learning skills they can use in the workforce after graduation.
