Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Bioscience)
at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia.
ECU's medical science study is its biomedical science degrees at Joondalup, whose lowest selection rank has been ECU's 70.00 minimum for three intakes. There are no prerequisites except for the data science major (Year 11 Mathematics Methods). ECU notes places are limited.
Lowest selection rank
The lowest selection rank (LSR) is the lowest ATAR plus adjustment factors (equity, subject and regional bonuses) that received an offer to the ECU Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Bioscience) for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.
| Intake | Lowest selection rank | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 70.00 | tisc.edu.au |
| 2025 | 70.00 | tisc.edu.au |
| 2024 | 70.00 | tisc.edu.au |
A lowest selection rank describes a past intake, not a guaranteed entry score. Check the current entry requirements on the official course page before you apply through TISC.
Prerequisite Year 12 subjects
No formal Year 12 subject prerequisites; assumed knowledge may still apply.
