Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Conservation Biology / Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Dual Degree)

Program Overview

Bachelor of Science and Biomedical Science is a double degree course providing comprehensive foundations in fundamental sciences complemented by specialist biomedical sciences. This course provides the knowledge and skills of the applied aspects of biomedical science and the more theoretical focus.

You will undertake research methodology training and carry out an independent research project in your specialist field, working closely with a supervisor who will provide you with individual guidance and academic counselling. The course offers a pathway to higher level research in biomedical science. There is a wide breadth of biomedical research available that provides a high degree of flexibility for you to pursue your honours year in a field of your choice.

Studies can be undertaken within one of the schools of the faculty, including: Biomedical Sciences, Central Clinical School, Eastern Health Clinical School, and Public Health and Preventative Medicine.  Studies can also be undertaken with one of the affiliated institutes, such as the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute or the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute.


Major: Ecology and Conservation Biology
Ecology is the scientific study of interactions between organisms and their environments. This is central to understanding the diversity and organisation of life at the main recognised levels of genes, species and ecosystems. Conservation biology seeks to understand human impact on these natural patterns and processes. It also devises practical solutions to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem functions, such as how nutrients move through nature.

There is a strong emphasis in this major on applying the principles of ecology and conservation biology to real-life management issues, particularly in the conservation field.

You will engage with the key principles of the discipline, which will underpin the exploration of the broad range of fascinating and vitally important biological questions that can be addressed by the study of biodiversity. You will be taught by high-quality researchers in advanced laboratory and field settings, using the latest methodologies, technologies and analyses.
