If you are passionate about health and science you may be interested in Biomedicine, one of the most exciting areas of scientific research.
The Bachelor of Medical Research is designed to help you develop the research skills to push the boundaries of what science knows about human health.
Course objectives
In your first year of study you will learn the fundamentals of cells and the systems of the body. The following year, you will start to navigate the interacting systems that make up the human body – including exploring biochemical pathways and physiological systems fundamental to human health and disease.
In your third and final year, you will specialise in an area of interest and gain invaluable real-world experience of medical research. This course emphasises the acquisition of research skills and students will have exposure throughout the course to scientists actively involved in medical research, who are investigating current research questions in a range of fields.
As well as an in-depth knowledge of the disciplines that underpin biomedicine, students develop important attributes, including:
- Effective communication skills.
- Critical and creative thought and problem solving skills.
- Ethical and social understanding
- Global perspective of biomedicine
Course structure
Students must satisfactorily complete appropriate units with a total weighting of 300% from the BMedRes Schedules. This would normally comprise:
- 100% from Schedule 1
- 100% from Schedule 2
- 100% from Schedule 3
The program must include all core units in Schedules 1A and 2A, and at least 75% from units listed in Schedule 3A.
You can choose optional units from Schedules 1B, 2B and 3B, although alternative optional units (existing units, or units approved in the future) may be included with the approval of the course coordinator.
It is recommended that students seek advice from the course coordinator when selecting optional units.
Practical experience
In the first named medical research degree in the country, you'll develop a deeper understanding of the human body and its functions at a cellular, molecular and systems level. You will learn more about the normal biological processes – and the abnormal processes that occur in disease.
Most significantly, we'll help you develop the scientific and experimental skills that underpin biomedical research. This includes mastering the tools and techniques necessary for a range of specialities, including neuroscience, genetics, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, pharmacology, immunology and microbiology.
"My studies in medical research at the University of Tasmania have been essential for me to work as a medical research scientist. I received a fantastic grounding in molecular biology, genetics and immunology, where I learnt not only the theory but many laboratory techniques that I still use today."
– Rhea Longley, BMedRes(Hons)
Career outcomes
This vital field of medical work requires its practitioners to have a strong aptitude for science, the ability to make clear and precise observations, to work accurately under pressure, and be able to identify and analyse problems and develop practical solutions.
If you've got a passion for saving lives, helping people and conducting scientific experiments, then this could be the perfect career for you.
What do medical researchers do?
Medical research incorporates the work of biomedical scientists, clinical research scientists, geneticists, clinical engineers, pharmacologists and many other medical science professionals. Medical researchers work alongside other scientists, conducting tests and experiments and carrying out research projects.
Where do medical researchers work?
Medical Researchers use their skills in a range of careers in research institutes, university departments, hospitals, pathology laboratories, pharmaceutical and biomedical companies and government departments.
Careers in Medical Research
Medical researchers apply their expert scientific skills and research findings to develop a better understanding of illnesses and other medical problems. They work towards practical solutions, developing new medicines, finessing existing drugs, testing new products and figuring out measures to prevent and combat diseases.
This course will give you the necessary skills to work in medical research across a range of industries, including the pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors, research institutes, hospitals, and universities.

Detailed Admissions Information
Detailed admissions information and advice for all undergraduate courses, including comprehensive, course-level student profiles, is available from UTAS Admissions.
Fees & scholarships
Domestic students
This is a full-fee course, which means you’ll need to pay the full amount for your studies. Commonwealth Supported Places are not available in this course. However, there are still support options available for eligible students to help you manage the cost of studying this course.
You may be able to fund all or part of your tuition fees by accessing a FEE-HELP loan from the Australian Government. FEE-HELP is a loan scheme that assists domestic full-fee students to pay for University, which is repaid through the Australian Tax System once you earn above a repayment threshold. This means you’ll only have to start repaying the loan once you start earning above a specific amount
Our scholarships and prizes program also offers more than 400 scholarships across all areas of study. You can even apply for multiple scholarships in one easy application.
Further informationDetailed fee information for domestic students is available at Scholarships, fees and costs, including additional information in relation to the compulsory Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
Scholarships
For information on general scholarships available at the University of Tasmania, please visit the scholarships website.
