Study AreasThere are three study areas available inthe course:

- Health and Wellness- Sport Science and PerformanceAnalysis- Research in Exercise and MovementScience

The Health and Wellness Study Area isintended for students who seek to work incorporate, government or communitypositions employing their knowledge of

exercise science to support health andwellbeing.

The Sport Science and PerformanceAnalysis study area is for students with astrong interest in sport performance andthe goal of sport-related employment, forexample, fitness instructors,sportspersons, coaches and sportingofficials.

The Research in Exercise and MovementScience study area provides a pathwayfor students who are considering Honoursand/or Higher Research Degrees, or whoare considering postgraduate courses inmedicine, physiotherapy and otherdisciplines, and for whom more advancedstudy and some research experience isvaluable.

Students may elect not to undertake amajor. These students complete theircourse requirements by undertaking sixelective units.

Course structureStudents complete 18 core units and sixadditional units from the following:

- five units from a Study Area OR- four units from a University wide minorplus one Faculty of Health elective OR- one Faculty of Health elective plus fourelectives from across the University.These could include units from the StudyAreas in the course.

The Faculty of Health units are selectedfrom undergraduate elective lists. At leastthree of these electives must at theintermediate or advanced stage, ieoffered in year 2 or later.

PathwaysGraduates of HM43 Bachelor of Exerciseand Movement Science can apply foradmission to the HM44 Bachelor ofClinical Exercise Physiology if they shouldwish to achieve full Exercise Physiologiststatus.

Professional recognitionGraduates are eleigible for membership ofExercise and Sports Science Australia(ESSA) as exercise scientists.

Domestic Course structureYour CourseYear 1You will undertake units coveringchemistry, physics, anatomy, pathologyand cell biology, providing a solidknowledge base for the topics coveredlater in the course. With QUT's practicalapproach to teaching, you will not onlylearn the theory, but gain a wealth ofpractical experience in state-of-the-artlaboratories. You will also gain anintroduction to the essentialcommunication skills required for a careerin the health and medical professions.

Year 2You will have the option of choosing amajor and two minors from five keybiomedical scientific disciplines to alignwith your own career goals: anatomicalsciences, cell and molecular biology,human biochemistry, human physiologyand infectious diseases. You will have theopportunity to complement your studiesby choosing a university wide set from adiscipline outside of biomedical science,such as behavioural science, publichealth, human rights, entrepreneurship,mathematical sciences, internationalbusiness or study a language. A minor isalso available in Clinical Physiology whichincludes a 400 hour Clinical Physiologyinternship in which you will be placed in a

hospital with professional clinicalphysiologists who will provide training inphysiological instrumentation andmeasurement, recording, interpretationand reporting of clinical data. You will alsohave opportunities to gain real worldexperience as part of your course in WorkIntegrated Learning placements inbiomedical research institutes andlaboratories in the science industry.

Year 3In the real world, the design andcompletion of successful research and/orbusiness projects demand that individualsgather information, solve problems, workeffectively as a part of a team andanalyse and communicate results in acritical manner. Therefore each major inthis course will culminate in a capstoneunit which will require you to apply theknowledge and skills developed throughyour course. Capstone projects includehuman anatomical dissection,contemporary laboratory based researchprojects in biochemistry, physiology andcell and molecular biology, and diagnosis,characterisation and development ofappropriate responses to an infectiousdisease outbreak scenario.

Course DesignThe Bachelor of Biomedical Sciencecomprises first-year studies in chemistry,physics, anatomy, pathology and cellbiology, providing a solid knowledge basefor the topics covered later in the course. Units in the second and third yearscombine advanced studies withtheoretical, practical, and problem-solvingskills. Several units in the area ofhumanities and applied health are anintegral part of the course.

The Bachelor of Biomedical Scienceprovides the necessary knowledge andskills to enter a career in biomedicalresearch, with integration of researchdesign and implementation, scientificwriting and communication and practicallaboratory skills embedded through eachyear of the course.

Furthermore students will be wellprepared to sit GAMSAT which isdesigned to evaluate mastery and use ofconcepts in basic science as well as theacquisition of more general skills inproblem solving, critical thinking andwriting. The Bachelor of BiomedicalScience provides a solid grounding inGAMSAT testing areas: reasoning inhumanities and social sciences, writtencommunication, reasoning in biological




and physical sciences (includingchemistry, biology and physics).

Course DesignThe program of study for an individualstudent will be decided in consultationwith the course coordinator and will takeinto account the student’s background inthe cell and biomolecular sciences andareas of interest in biotechnology.

The Graduate Certificate in Biotechnologyis a foundation program for people withouta science degree or for those who do nothave a recent background in the cell andbiomolecular sciences. Fundamentalaspects of cell and molecular biology,biochemistry and microbiology arecovered in this first program. Successfulcompletion of this program allowsstudents to then specialise in moreadvanced aspects of biotechnology. TheGraduate Certificate in Biotechnology alsoallows students to gain essential genericskills and attributes for successfulpostgraduate research and learning.

Students must commence in July andenrol in Semester 2 units first. Advancedstanding (credit) may be given for thisfoundation program if the student has adegree or equivalent with recent andappropriate undergraduate-levelknowledge and practical experience in thekey areas of molecular biology, cellbiology, biochemistry and/or microbiologyat an advanced level. If advancedstanding (credit) is granted and acceptedstudents can enrol directly in any of themore advanced biotechnology programsin their first semester of study.

OverviewThe Master of Biotechnology (Advanced)program completes the comprehensivetraining of students and follows successfulcompletion of core and optional unitsoffered in the Graduate Certificate inBiotechnology, Graduate Diploma inBiotechnology and Master ofBiotechnology programs. It encompassesgeneral medical and/or plantbiotechnology. In their final semester ofthe program, students may undertake asupervised research project either at QUTor external to QUT.

Part-time students may also elect to do aresearch project at their place of work,with both a workplace supervisor and aQUT supervisor. Students must discussresearch project areas prior to enrolmentin their final semester of study in LS96 toorganise a suitable project and a projectsupervisor(s).

The Graduate Certificate in Biotechnologyis a foundation program for people withouta science degree or for those who do nothave a recent background in the cell andbiomolecular sciences. Fundamentalaspects of cell and molecular biology,biochemistry and microbiology arecovered in this first program. Successfulcompletion of this program allowsstudents to then specialise in moreadvanced aspects of biotechnology. TheGraduate Certificate in Biotechnology also




allowsstudents to gain essential generic skillsand attributes for successful postgraduateresearch and learning.

Students must commence in July andenrol in Semester 2 units first.
