Summary

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. In the Bachelor of Information Technology, you'll acquire foundational skills in programming, data storage and modelling, networking and cybersecurity. You'll develop broad and coherent knowledge and skills from an area of information technology - such as software design and construction, applied data modelling and analysis, or security problem detection and mitigation - and learn how to apply that knowledge to solve real-world problems. And you'll learn how to relate your knowledge and skills in information technology to a broader societal context, and make sound decisions regarding ethical and security concerns.
