Medical researchers are a lot like detectives. As they search for leads, disregard suspects and ultimately solve mysteries, they also have the thrill of knowing that each scientific discovery they make in the lab may one day turn into a pioneering real-world medical treatment. This interdisciplinary course will provide you with the broad background in the biological, chemical and biomolecular sciences you'll need for a rewarding career whether that be unravelling the molecular building blocks that underpin disease, developing new drugs to treat or cure disease, or applying your scientific knowledge to help solve crimes.

For students from overseas, Macquarie uses an international selection rank to determine the minimum eligibility requirement for each undergraduate course. This rank has been converted into equivalent scores for various recognised international high school qualifications and university entrance examinations, including global qualifications like the International Baccalaureate (IB) and GCE A-Levels. All applicants for undergraduate coursework studies at Macquarie University are required to provide evidence of proficiency in English.
