Course code: 3523 + Malaysia
This course enables a student to graduate with both a BSc(Biotech) and BSc(MedBiosc) degree following four years of full-time study. Upon completion of the course, students will have knowledge of science across a range of disciplines with a high level of understanding and appreciation in a broad spectrum of areas relating to medical bioscience and biotechnology with an emphasis on aspects of human health in tropical regions. Graduates will have the skills to utilise sophisticated equipment to effectively communicate, liaise and co-operate with other in a multidisciplinary setting and to work within and contribute to a team environment, particularly in the field of patient care.
An applied research project is offered as an elective to qualified students to undertake meaningful research and further develop the skills they have learnt. The maximum time for completion of the course is 10 years, including intermissions.
The course may be taken so that either of the single degrees are completed in the first three years of study, provided all relevant requirements are completed. Alternative A allows students to exit with a BSc(Biotech) after the completion of the first three stages, while alternative B allows students to graduate with a BSc(MedBiosc) after the first three stages, provided the compulsory industrial training is completed.
No more than 60 points of level one units can be included overall. Elective units may be chosen from any faculty at the Malaysia campus, including units offered for other science courses. Students must undergo industrial training via a professional attachment to a clinical or medical laboratory as part of the course requirements.
