Available streams include STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), Art, Design and Architecture, Business, and Communication and Social Context.

Prospective students are encouraged to contact an RMIT international advisor for assistance with their application and to determine the most suitable study option.

Double Degree - Bachelor of Science - Biotechnology & Bachelor of Biomedical Science (BP293SBT25) (116912G) The RMIT Bachelor of Biomedical Science / Bachelor of Biotechnology double degree combines studies in biomedicine and biotechnology, providing students with a competitive advantage in the job market. The biomedical science component enables students to understand how the human body functions, including its responses to disease, exercise, diet, internal disturbances, and environmental influences.

The biotechnology component focuses on how techniques in molecular biology and genetics are applied to areas such as diagnosing genes linked to cancer and disease, designing proteins, improving the resilience of crops and livestock, and enhancing food safety.

Students complete foundational studies in areas including cell biology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology, along with advanced subjects covering systemic diseases, genomics, designer proteins, and computational biology.
