On-campus (Malaysia)
Upon
completion of this double degree, 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 cooperate 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.
Students must complete one of the two approved programs of study detailed below, including 156 points of core units plus 36 points of elective studies. No more than 60 points of level-one units can be included overall. The 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.
The course may be taken so that either of the single degrees is 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.
The maximum time for completion of the course is 10 years, including intermissions.
