Plan Your Course

These templates have been put together to assist Biomedicine students in planning their subject choices throughout their course journey.

Plan your Course

Study plans have been pre-populated with the Biomedicine Core subjects that are only offered in a single semester, with room available for you to add your subject choices in for remaining core subjects, major subjects, major requisites, electives (foundation and general) and breadth subjects.

Course Requirements:

All students are required to choose a prescribed major sequence of four level 3 subjects. Some majors require level 1 or 2 prerequisite subjects to be able to complete the level 3 major subjects.
All students must complete 2 subjects from the Foundation Elective list.
All students must complete 4-6 breadth subjects, only 3 of these can be at level 1.

For the full list of course requirements and subject options please refer to the University Handbook.

Majors with all prerequisite requirements met through core subjects: Cell and Developmental Biology, Human Structure and Function, Immunology, Neuroscience, Pathology, Pharmacology, Physiology
Majors with additional prerequisites subjects required at 2nd year: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Genetics, Human Nutrition, Microbiology and Immunology
Majors with additional prerequisites required at 1st and 2nd year: Bioengineering Systems, Psychology (APAC accredited major).

FAQs

When do I choose my Major?
You do not need to formally choose your major until you are re-enrolling into your third year. The only consideration you need to make when enrolling into your first year is whether you may like to take Bioengineering or Psychology. If this is you then you should enrol into the Bioengineering or Psychology subjects as listed above.
How much do I need to enrol into now?
You only need to enrol into subjects one calendar year at a time. To assist the university in planning the timetable it is recommended you enrol into both Semester 1 and 2 subjects. Generally you can change subjects up until week 2 of semester.
There's a quota on a subject in my major. What does this mean for me?
Students need to ensure they have enrolled by the selection deadlines to be considered for selection. If the subject is core to the major on your study plan and you have already successfully completed at least one core subject of the major at the time of selection you will be given priority during selection rounds for other core subjects in that major.To be given this priority, you need to ensure you apply on time. No priority is given for elective subjects as you have alternative options if you are unsuccessful during selection. More information on SBS Quota Subjects.
