About the course

Study a Bachelor of Biomedical Science at ACU and you’ll learn about the cause, nature, progression, and consequences of diseases, understand how they are diagnosed, and explore research aimed at their prevention and treatment. You'll also gain laboratory experience in areas such as chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, genetics, microbiology and immunology. You will have the opportunity to complete a major in physiological pharmacology or a minor in pharmacology by enrolling in this degree.

　　The physiological pharmacology major sequence provides you with the opportunity to expand your understanding of the human body and of the various types of medication that cure/manage disease states. If you choose this stream, you will gain a deep understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular, nervous, renal, and gastrointestinal systems and how drugs exert their desired effects on the human body, what protocols exist that ensure drug safety and how new drugs are developed.
