About the school

We combine innovative research with high-quality education to solve global challenges that affect us all. We provide learning environments that prepare graduates for professional practice.

Our teaching

Our courses are designed in consultation with industry, government and the professions. Our graduates enjoy excellent employment opportunities and are prepared for many career pathways in science. Undergraduate students can complete studies in:

• Biomedical science
• Medical laboratory science.

Our staff also teach units in other health and science related degrees at the university. Our focus on education that combines foundation studies in science with contemporary practice means that students across various study areas have a solid understanding of how biomedical science can be applied in a variety of industries and disciplines.

Our research

QUT has earned a ranking of world standard or above in more than 75% of its research assessed under the Australian Government’s Excellence in Research for Australia assessment framework (ERA 2010). We are committed to tackling issues of global importance and our courses are designed to give talented students research skills for use in the real world. Our researchers are supported in their endeavours through their memberships within the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI).
