Information for students enrolled in the Bachelor of Biomedicine
For students who have completed Biochemistry and Molecular Biology subjects at 300-level during or before 2008:
Students undertaking a major are required to have passed 521-323 Advanced Techniques in Molecular Science in 2009 (or 521-321 or 521322 before 2009). The remaining 37.5 points can be made up of any combination of pre-2009 subjects and 2009 subjects.
NOTE:
If a student finds that these pathways to a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are not possible in 2009 due to clashes with other subjects, they should contact Associate Professor Ian van Driel or Associate Professor Paul Gooley, who will work with them to try and ensure successful completion of the major.
Several awards, prizes and scholarships are available for students taking subjects in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
