THE FACULTY AT A GLANCE
The foundations of human health.
Basic medical sciences provide a framework for understanding the human body, from its organisation and systems to the cellular and molecular processes that sustain life. These foundations help explain both normal function and the changes associated with disease.
The faculty profile places emphasis on scientific literacy, precise terminology and the ability to connect knowledge across different levels of biological organisation. A strong foundation supports further learning throughout the health sciences.
