Bachelor of Biomedical Science/Master of Data Science

In this course you will:
Position yourself ahead of the curve, graduating with dual bachelor and master qualifications.
Save time and study costs by completing a Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Master of Data Science in just four years.
Gain theoretical and practical skills in various biomedical disciplines, including genomics, cell and molecular biology, infection and immunity, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology.
Study at Australia's leading research institution for data mining and analysis (Australian Research Magazine 2025).
Learn from experts and develop knowledge and skills in advanced biomedical data analytics, including data mining methods, statistical modelling, statistical data analysis, modern biomedical technologies, software system development, and research methodologies.
Be able to participate in comprehensive project-based experience to bring biological meaning to the translation of big data, allowing you to solve complex problems in biomedical science and healthcare.
What to expect: In the first two years of this program, you will gain knowledge of a wide range of biomedical disciplines and use these as the foundation for developing more advanced theoretical and practical skills in specialised biomedical science areas.In the third year of the program, you will complete the embedded biomedical data analytics minor, preparing you to articulate into the Master of Data Science. The master will further your knowledge and skills in advanced biomedical data science, providing a deep understanding and practical experience in data modelling and interpretation. As a graduate, you will have significant project-based experience and skills, enabling you to apply data science to solve complex problems in biomedical science and healthcare.

As a Bachelor of Biomedical Science graduate, you will have a foundational knowledge of a wide range of biomedical discipline areas. This broad knowledge base will be the foundation for developing theoretical and practical knowledge in specialised biomedical science discipline areas. You will have a high degree of course flexibility with the option to select a major or two minor areas of study that align with your interests and complement the embedded biomedical data analytics minor to prepare you for areas of current and emerging priority and employment. Choose your major area of study from the list: Anatomical sciences, Cell and molecular biotechnology, Human biochemistry, Human physiology, Infection and immunity.
The Master of Data Science portion of this vertical double degree will prepare you for a future-focused career in the fast-paced, ever-changing world of data science. With a collaborative transdisciplinary curriculum, you will learn the theories and methods required to critically and collaboratively visualise, analyse and interpret real-world data to support informed decision-making across a range of applied areas. You will study specialist units in advanced statistical data analysis, data mining techniques and applications, data manipulation, analytics for information professionals and advanced stochastic modelling.
