• What’s the difference between biomedical and medical science majors and named degrees? arrow_forward_ios

  One is a specialised or named degree, such as the Bachelor of Medical Science, while the other is a Bachelor of Science degree with specialised majors.

  The Medical Science degree allows you to choose from 2 majors and likely requires a higher selection rank for entry. The Bachelor of Science offers more flexibility if you want to change majors.

• What’s the difference between the Bachelor of Molecular Biotechnology and the Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology)? arrow_forward_ios

  The Bachelor of Molecular Biotechnology offers majors in Medical Biotechnology and Environmental Biotechnology, as well as more cross-disciplinary subjects in both business and law.

  The Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology is a more flexible degree. If you're not sure what you want to specialise in, the Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology – or any of its majors – is a safe bet.
