Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this capstone subject you will explore various "real-world "applications of the biomedical science they have learned through out their degree. Particular emphasis will be placed on drug development, testing and trials as well as problem-solving through forensic biology applications. Working in teams, students will further develop their analytical skills and their ability to communicate scientific findings as evidence to support a position or argument.
