Commerce and Biomedical Science

The breakthroughs being made in biomedicine are saving lives and changing the world for the better. While science guides biomedical research towards groundbreaking outcomes, commercial know-how is vital for amplifying this impact. From funding research to rolling out the development of new medical products, science and commerce can work together to drive positive change in the world.

This double degree gives you the opportunity to develop expertise in both. Broaden your understanding of the commercial landscape as you explore the opportunities within biomedical research – and increase the potential to make a positive impact of your own.
