Title: Breadth subjects in the Bachelor of Biomedicine
Post by: Pup on January 12, 2013, 07:09:57 pm
Can you do science subjects such as Physics ,EDS1, Chemistry 2 as Breadth in the Bachelor of Biomedicine?
Eg. If I choose to major in biomedical engineering?

You can't do science subjects as breadth in Biomed. Biomed is, for all intents and purposes, a Science course with a different name.

Bioeng though Biomed has different foundation courses such as Physics for Biomed and Chemistry for Biomed.

You can't do any science based subjects as breadth if you are doing Biomed. Although there are two subject slots that you can choose between science or other breadth subjects.

Instead of cluttering up the board with multiple threads; try using the general thread for these kinds of questions.. Just keeps the board a bit easier to navigate.

How about Maths subjects? :)

Maths is a classified under the Science Faculty, so it is not eligible for breadth (BSc/Biomed breadth).

what are some good breadth subjects that will compliment the science or biomed course?

Hmm if I was going to do Science or Biomedicine I wanted to study Maths or wildlife-like Biology in my breadth, but I guess that's not possible. I guess it'll be Italian that I pursue. :P

The whole idea of breadth subjects is to explore fields outside of science and pursue other interests.

There a lot of options available so pick what grabs your attention the most :)

Would Philosophy be an eligible breadth?

Haha nah you definitely can :P

Here's a page listing all the philosophy subjects offered at UoM - you can take any of them as breadth:

Thanks so much!

One last question:

can you pick 2 breadths or just the one?
Title: Re: Breadth subjects in the Bachelor of Biomedicine
Post by: Hancock on January 13, 2013, 01:26:29 am
You have 4-6 slots to pick breadth classes. You can pick whatever classes you want for those as long as they, in fact, are breadth eligible for your course. When you say 2 "breadths" I presume you're talking about two different areas of study, and yes you can do that.
