f you’re fascinated by solving mysteries, our Bachelor of Forensic Science will teach you how to uncover the truth using DNA profiling, advanced forensic chemistry and crime scene investigation techniques. 

Passionate about breakthroughs in health and medicine? Explore our Bachelor of Biomedical Science and dive into microbiology, immunology, genetics and medical research, equipping you with skills that could lead to life-changing discoveries. 

Prefer hands-on work in the lab? Our Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine is all about working with patient samples, developing practical lab skills and analysing clinical results to improve lives. 

Excited by food, health and wellbeing? With our Bachelor of Food Science and Nutrition, you’ll learn how nutrition impacts human performance and illness prevention. You will also explore how the food we eat is produced and how we can make sure there is food for the future. 

No matter which path you choose in Medical, Molecular and Forensic Sciences, you’ll graduate with transferable skills that open doors to exciting careers in science and beyond. 

In our Bachelor of Forensic Science, you can choose to study one or both majors: Forensic Biology or Forensic Chemistry and Toxicology. In Forensic Biology you’ll hone your skills in evidence collection, forensic pathology and anthropology, and forensic DNA to investigate crime from a scientific perspective. Live out your true crime obsession by learning techniques used for human DNA profiling and gathering forensic evidence and its analysis and presentation of results in court.  

In Forensic Chemistry and Toxicology, you will gain skills in identifying illegal drugs and poisons, detecting counterfeit over the counter and prescription drugs, assessing claims of contaminated environments and food, and art fraud. High achieving students can also accelerate your career by applying for the integrated Bachelor of Forensic Science/ Master of Forensic Science where you’ll hone your skills in specialist forensic disciplines like bloodstain pattern analysis, fingerprint and impression analysis, anthropology and archaeology, forensic DNA and forensic chemistry. 

If you’re passionate about human health, infectious diseases and advances in medical sciences then get excited for our Bachelor of Biomedical Science. You can major in Genetics and Biotechnology, Biomedicine, Pharmacology and Toxicology, Clinical Laboratory Science, Biochemistry and Nutrition, and Microbiology and Immunology. In all majors you’ll gain valuable theoretical and practical lab skills, and a deep understanding of foundational methods of medical sciences. Expect to learn from leading scientists in their fields at any number of our research centres such as the Australian National Phenome Centre. So, whether you want to manage the next pandemic, diagnose blood disorders, identify the genetic markers of disease, or study human parasitic organisms, our Bachelor of Biomedical Science is for you. High achieving students can also apply for our integrated degree of a Bachelor of Biomedical Science/ Master of Infectious Disease Surveillance and Control where you will further your skills with a 12-month industry-based project or 6-month project and 6-month dissertation. 

If you’re keen for hands-on work diagnosing and managing disease, check out our Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine. In this course you’ll learn about haematology (the study and treatment of blood disorders), immunology (the study of the immune system and how our bodies protect us from pathogens), microbiology (the study of microorganisms causing disease), clinical biochemistry (the study of the chemical and biochemical processes of the body in relation to disease), histopathology (the study of how disease causes changes in tissues) and molecular pathology (the examination of molecules within organs, tissues and fluids). In this four-year course you can specialise in one of three streams, Biomedical Science, Genetics and Molecular Biology or Forensic Science and Toxicology. In your final year you will gain hands-on industry experience with our Work Integrated Learning program, which allows you to put your skills into practice in a workplace environment. 

Finally, if you're into getting the most out of food and nutrition, then study our Bachelor of Food Science and Nutrition. You’ll investigate the chemistry of food, human physiology, food analysis, food safety, food preparation, food product development, the impact of nutrition on human health, disease and sports performance, and the social and public health aspects of nutrition. You’ll get to study at the heart of our health precinct and have access to our living labs to grow your food production knowledge, including our Whitby Falls farm on the outskirts of Perth. You can take your studies further with an integrated degree of a Bachelor of Food Science and Nutrition/ Master of Food Science. 

The Places You Can Go 

Our Medical, Molecular and Forensic Science courses open a broad range of careers and skills that can be taken anywhere. Expect to find roles in medical research, biomedical equipment and marketing, pharmaceuticals or public health with a Bachelor of Biomedical Science. A Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine will give you sought after skills as a medical scientist. Our Bachelor of Food Science and Nutrition will open doors for you as a nutritionist, food scientist, food safety officer or a manager in educational health and wellbeing and community programs. If you decide to study our Bachelor of Forensic Science expect to find careers as a forensic scientist, crime scene officer, clinical or forensic toxicologist or drug analyst. 

A degree in Medical, Molecular and Forensic Sciences isn’t just a degree, it’s a launchpad for a brighter future.
