Bachelor of Biomedical Science
at Queensland University of Technology, Queensland.
QUT's undergraduate medical science degree is the three-year Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Gardens Point. No prerequisites; the assumed knowledge is English, Mathematical Methods or Specialist Mathematics, and Biology or Chemistry (Units 3 and 4, C).
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 QUT Bachelor of Biomedical Science for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.

|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 70.10 | qtac.edu.au |
| 2025 | 70.05 | qtac.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 QTAC.
Prerequisite Year 12 subjects
No formal Year 12 subject prerequisites; assumed knowledge may still apply.
What you will study
Students study human biological systems and how they apply to health and disease, with majors in anatomical sciences, cell and molecular biotechnology, human biochemistry, human physiology, and infection and immunity. Real-world experience comes through work-integrated learning, clinical or industry placements, or a clinical physiology internship.
Career outcomes
- Graduates work as medical-laboratory scientists, clinical-trial coordinators and research assistants in hospital pathology departments.
- Common destinations include diagnostic-laboratory roles at Australian Clinical Labs and Sonic Healthcare, and research roles at the Garvan, WEHI and QIMR Berghofer.
- Many alumni progress into graduate medicine, dentistry and physiotherapy or into research Honours and PhD study.
