If you plan to study biomedical science, The University of Queensland is the place for you, according to graduate and chronic pain researcher Georgia Richards.
Biomedical science provides the foundation for modern healthcare, and from next year, UQ will introduce some exciting changes to its biomedical science offerings, giving greater flexibility and more choice than ever.
In addition to the University’s flagship three-year Bachelor of Science program (majoring in Biomedical Science), UQ will offer more ways to study biomedical science next year.
These are the three-year Bachelor of Biomedical Science program and the four-year Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) majoring in Biomedical Science program.
The University will also offer a new four-year dual program combination, the Bachelor of Biomedical Science/Bachelor of Science, allowing students to combine the versatility and breadth of a science degree, with the in-depth knowledge of a biomedical science degree.

Georgia, who graduated as a Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Science) with first class honours last year, praised her biomedical studies at UQ for helping her shape her future career in relieving suffering from chronic pain.
UQ graduate and chronic pain researcher Georgia Richards.
“UQ is an academically driven university that is full of opportunity,” she said.
“UQ is at the forefront of innovation in science and offers world-class teaching and learning facilities and an incredible community of professors with a wealth of knowledge that I certainly benefitted from.
“My three most memorable experiences while studying at UQ were the opportunity to do an exchange abroad program, the use of the University’s anatomy labs, and my incredible Honours research year which has completely shaped the future of my career.”
While studying, she received a UQ Advantage Grant to undertake a Gap Medics Program in rural Thailand at Chiang Mai.
Georgia said findings from her research project on chronic pain would be presented at the 16th World Congress on Pain in Yokohama, Japan this September.
She is currently working at the Gallipoli Medical Research Foundation at Greenslopes Private Hospital, Brisbane, Australia.
She works also on the Veteran Mental Health Initiative that investigates Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and the experience of reintegration to civilian life for Australian military veterans.
