Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences
“From day one, I have felt comfortable here, thanks to the wonderful staff who welcomed and supported me at the start of my studies. They helped me learn that despite the large campus, you aren’t ever lost in the crowd at JCU, the community is tight knit and getting help is as easy as asking for it."
