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 :)
-
these are all the breadths you can do if doing biomed:

Would Philosophy be an eligible breadth?

Would Philosophy be an eligible breadth?
Yup =)

I cant find it in the handbook link though! Because atm im leaning towards BBiomed and Philosophy has always been interesting to me.

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?
-
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.
-
Ahhh thanks so much. I'm keen on mixing up some Philosophy, Law and maybe Film? breadths
-
Can we only do Level 1 Breadths in first year? thanks :)

No, you can do Level 2 Breadths as long as you've fulfilled the prerequisites :)

oh ok, thanks :)
