Commerce and Biomedical Science - B2021
The breakthroughs being made in biomedicine are saving lives and changing the world for the better. While science guides biomedical research towards groundbreaking outcomes, commercial know-how is vital for amplifying this impact. From funding research to rolling out the development of new medical products, science and commerce can work together to drive positive change in the world.
This double degree gives you the opportunity to develop expertise in both. Broaden your understanding of the commercial landscape as you explore the opportunities within biomedical research – and increase the potential to make a positive impact of your own.
YOUR CAREER BEGINS HERE
The Bachelor of Commerce provides a solid foundation in commercial knowledge through the lens of data, numbers and mathematical analysis. You’ll learn how to apply this quantitative expertise across key areas of commerce and business – with the choice to major accounting, finance, economics, management, marketing science, sustainability and more.
DOUBLE YOUR OPTIONS
As you develop your commercial skillset, you’ll also learn the fundamentals of biomedical science. This includes how it positively impacts society and how to apply what you learn about this rapidly growing field in a research capacity. Explore everything from anatomy and immunology to epidemiology and biostatistics – as you discover what sparks your curiosity most.
IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD DO
You’ll complete this degree with the practical expertise to build a more impactful career, along with a well-rounded understanding of both commerce and biomedicine. Bringing both fields together could take your future in a number of exciting directions. You might explore how diseases affect global economies, market medical research campaigns or biomedical breakthroughs, use your commercial capabilities to fund groundbreaking research and so much more.
Commerce has always had the power to change the world. When paired with biomedicine, it can change lives too.
