Overview
The Bachelor of Medical Bioscience is an interdisciplinary program providing training in the biomedical sciences with a focus on medical/molecular diagnostics and medical biotechnology. You will study a wide range of topics including anatomy, biochemistry, cellular metabolism, immunology, medical microbiology, human physiology, pharmacology, pathology, molecular biology and biotechnology. You will also develop a regional perspective relevant to Malaysian healthcare primarily through case studies and work-based training in hospitals and medical research centres.
First-year units
Level 1 units every student in this course takes or chooses from.
- BIO1011Blueprints for lifeThis unit will explore the fundamental processes and patterns common to all life on Earth. It will examine how living organisms grow, develop diverse and complex structures, harness and utilise energy and transmit their life blueprints to t…
- BIO1022Life on EarthThis unit views the extraordinary diversity of life on Earth through the prism of evolutionary theory and in the context of human and environmental health. You will examine how animals and plants, through the agents of gene mutation and nat…
