Stage2 - Diploma of Health Sciences - Biomedical Science � Pharmacology, Leading to Bachelor of Biomedical Science in Pharmacology

Program Overview

Students who have already completed Year 12 (or equivalent) may start with the Stage 2 Diploma, which has the same course content and structure as year one of the corresponding Curtin University undergraduate degree. Upon completion of your Diploma, you will progress directly into the second year of your Curtin University Bachelor's degree program.

Stage2 - Biomedical Science – Human Biomedicine - Diploma of Health Sciences
The Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences is a highly flexible degree that gives you the freedom to explore different areas of biology related to human health and disease.

Whether you aspire to pursue a career as a clinical physiologist, develop vaccines for infectious diseases, advance cancer or Alzheimer’s research, explore gene sequencing or formulate new pharmaceuticals, this degree lets you tailor your studies to suit your preferred career path.

In the first year of this degree, you will complete foundation studies in areas of biomedical science such as human biology, genetics, cell biology, microbiology, and immunology, alongside complementary learning in chemistry, scientific communication and biostatistics.

In the second and third years, you will branch out into the areas of biomedical science that interest you most. Options open to you include majors in Human Biomedicine, Molecular Genetics, or Pharmacology; as well as specialisations and optional units.

All options combine theory with intensive hands-on, practical sessions in high-quality laboratory facilities; where you will work on real-world scenarios that prepare you for your future career.

You may also undertake industry site visits to provide you with insight into your chosen career path when you graduate.

Major: Pharmacology
Pharmacology explores the effects of drugs on living organisms and is the cornerstone for a career in drug discovery and development. It is particularly relevant with the increasing global challenge to develop new drugs against infectious agents.

This major gives you a good understanding of drug action against microorganisms through computer-based simulations and laboratory work covering molecular, cellular and physiological responses, and modern drug analysis techniques.

You will learn how drugs target specific receptors in tissues and explore the major biochemical pathways that are activated.

You’ll also learn about dose-response relationship, toxicity, drug metabolism and elimination, drug design and development, and how genetic variation between populations influences drug response.

What you'll learn

Apply skills, concepts, and principles of scientific investigation in the biomedical sciences
Propose innovative, evidence-based solutions to contemporary problems in the biomedical sciences
Effectively access and communicate biomedical science concepts using a variety of media
Maintain intellectual curiosity and knowledge to contribute to the global scientific community
Demonstrate cultural competency through scientific practice that considers cultural diversity and ways of working that are respectful and responsible
Demonstrate initiative, leadership, and ethical practice when working independently and collaboratively, to a standard expected by industry and the community.
