Bachelor of Medical and Health Sciences

University of Wollongong

Wollongong , Australia

Medical and health science provides insight into the structure and function of the human body at all levels of organisation. This knowledge can be used directly to work alongside other health professionals within the medical research and clinical health fields in both private industry and hospital settings. It can also be used as an underpinning set of knowledge for postgraduate medicine, dentistry, and most other allied health professional areas. It is the Medical and Health professionals in their various roles that are involved in the development of therapies, application of diagnostic methods and treatments associated with health and disease.

Bachelor of Medical and Radiation Physics

University of Wollongong

Wollongong , Australia

Medical and radiation physicists work in many different fields related to human health in order to improve quality of life. They are familiar with aspects of ionising and non-ionising radiation used for radiation medicine. They are familiar with various forms of therapeutic radiation oncology as well as different methods of diagnostic radiation imaging, and the mechanisms of how such radiation interacts with the human body. They are also familiar with exciting new radiation medicine technologies being developed for the continued improvement in the treatment of human diseases. You will learn where medical physics matters most: in hospitals, clinics and nuclear science research facilities. In this course you will gain knowledge in areas relating to nuclear medicine, radiotherapy physics, radiation transport physics modelling, detector and instrumentation physics, and data analysis.

Bachelor of Medical Mathematics (Dean's Scholar)

University of Wollongong

Wollongong , Australia

Dean's Scholar degrees are highly recognisable, giving you the edge in competitive employment. The Bachelor of Medical Mathematics (Dean's Scholar) offers a challenging and enriched educational experience for high-achieving students who want to perform above the level normally expected. Students are also encouraged to continue their studies through the completion of Honours and research programs. The rapid development of medical technology and treatments has created a niche sector which relies on the skill sets of mathematicians and statisticians. Mathematical and statistical modelling and analysis is the key to future breakthroughs in areas including the understanding of biological systems, the treatment of diseases, drug development, and targeted clinical trials. This is because mathematics and statistics enable us to design meaningful yet streamlined experiments, find structure in data, and construct models that help to predict, and therefore control, future outcomes. The Bachelor of Medical Mathematics (Dean's Scholar) is a three-year degree pioneered by UOW in response to the needs identified by the medical and health sectors. You will also be able to pursue careers in mathematics, statistics and medical research and you will be prepared for postgraduate studies in medicine, mathematics, allied health professions and medical organisations. These include hospitals, CSIRO, Australian Bureau of Statistics, forensic research and universities.
