Graduate Diploma of Biomedical Sciences

James Cook University has:

• Purpose-built emergency veterinary clinic including operating theatres and radiology facilities
• anatomy and biomedical science teaching and research laboratories, including housing for small, large and aquatic animals
• veterinary teaching facilities in Atherton, Malanda, Townsville and Charters Towers.

Biomedical science is integral to human and veterinary practice. It looks at how the body works and investigates ways to treat diseases through advanced tools and strategies.

This course is for graduates of science, biomedical science, veterinary science or related disciplines who want to specialise in microbiology and immunology. This is a flexible course allowing you to tailor your studies to suit your professional needs and interests.

Students must provide evidence of being immune to hepatitis B within the first teaching period of their studies. A blood-borne viral disease may result in a student’s inability to obtain a placement in a Queensland Health facility and consequently may result in their inability to complete the requirements of the course as accredited by the relevant professional accrediting body. If a student has not complied with the above requirement by the last day of the first teaching period of their studies, their enrolment will be terminated immediately.
