Bachelor of Medical Bioscience

The human body, healthcare, and illness are the main topics of medical bioscience, and this course gives you a strong foundation in this significant and extremely specialised discipline. In addition to studying a variety of related life science subjects, you will have access to state-of-the-art labs to aid in your education and research skill development. You have the option to work on a research project in your senior year that focuses on a medical sciences unit that interests you.
This degree's unique development for the Malaysian setting is what really sets it apart. With an emphasis on tropical medicine approaches, you will learn about medical bioscience in a tropical setting.
Furthermore, you won't constantly be looking through microscopes. Your study also includes professional training and fieldwork with a laboratory or community health group.
