Careers in medical health sciences

There has been a sharp increase in applications for degrees in science at Monash University. Besides the excellence in learning and teaching offered, this trend reflects the fact that Monash is also a research-intensive university. Our graduates benefit from the expertise of world-leading researchers, remain in touch with the latest developments and develop skills critical to pursuing a career in the biomedical science sphere.

Start your career through the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology

Completion of DEV-units through either a science or biomedical science degree, prepares our graduates for a wide range of careers. Graduates can apply their knowledge of anatomy and developmental biology directly, such as choosing a career in the biomedical sphere. Alternatively, graduates can use the general skills and knowledge acquired to pursue careers in other areas.

Our graduates acquire the following skills:

  • Essential analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Experience in scientific writing
  • Experience in oral communication, interaction with students and academic staff, and answering scientific questions
  • Understanding in how abnormalities in genetic and/or environmental regulation of development can lead to birth defects as well as chronic diseases in adulthood
  • Knowledge of the major body systems: microscopic and macroscopic anatomy, development and function
  • Familiarity with design and analysis of experiments
  • Hands-on expertise in modern developmental biology techniques
