Master of Biomedical Science at Monash University

Are you interested in the range of organisms that make up our green planet? Do you want to be a part of new discoveries about the natural world around us? The Master of Science in Biological Sciences is a flexible coursework program that can be tailored to suit your specific educational goals. Our program allows you to specialise in a particular area of biology such as biomedical sciences, ecology and evolution, genetics, and plant sciences. Alternatively, you can utilise the program to provide a broad overview of biological sciences today. Our practical classes build on your traditional technical knowledge while developing your skills in new cutting-edge experimental techniques.

Western Australia is a terrestrial biodiversity hot-spot, offering exceptional opportunities to study unique plants and animals that have evolved in our wetlands, forests and deserts. You'll gain an advanced understanding and practical skills in ecology, evolution, genetics, species identification, reproduction and behaviour, and can apply your knowledge to conserving species and their habitats. You also have the opportunity to design, execute, analyse and report on field and/or laboratory-based projects, supported by world-class researchers.

Develop in demand computational and data analysis skills to manage and interpret the flood of new information being discovered in the fields of biology and medicine. Bioinformatics is the application and development of methods from computer science to solve challenges within molecular biology and medicine. With rapid data and technology advances in the fields of biology and medicine, people with the skills required to manage and interpret large biological datasets are increasingly in demand.
