Bachelor of Medical Sciences in Infectious Disease and Biosecurity

Program Overview

Medical researchers are a lot like detectives. As they search for leads, uncover clues and ultimately solve mysteries, they also have the thrill of knowing that each scientific discovery they make may turn into a real-world medical treatment. Many current and emerging global challenges are connected to health and medicine, and with health a fast-growing job market, demand is high for those skilled in this field.

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.


Major: Infectious Disease and Biosecurity
Infectious disease and biosecurity are two of the most pressing scientific issues facing society. A growing human population, increased global connectivity, urbanisation, climate change and intensive farming practices all create a greater connection between people, animals, plants and the infectious diseases each carry. Biosecurity is how we prevent and control emerging infectious disease, and protect the planet’s resources.

In the Infectious Disease and Biosecurity major, you’ll study the significance of the intersection between humans and the environment, wildlife and domestic animals in disease dynamics, and how this is relevant to health biosecurity. You’ll develop skills in applying disease transmission theory to epidemiology, in the lab and in devising a biosecurity response plan. And your ability to communicate infectious disease and biosecurity concepts in a range of modes will boost your career prospects.
