Is it better to do (1 Viewer)

Bachelor of Biomedicine at Melbourne Uni, or Biomedical science at La Trobe?

Also, is there any emphasis of practical learning at Melbourne Uni Biomedicine?

pick based on the course, not the uni

Melb Uni, i'm told that if you get a credit average you can gain entry straight into med, dent, optom, physio, pharm... that might be something to consider

I'd go to Umelb if I was inclined to do medicine, etc afterwards. But if La trobe (Bendigo, etc) is a lot closer to home, and finances are difficult I would go there. You can always do accredited subjects at La trobe that match up to to Umelb's standards, there is a list in the link below. Practicals will be a part of any science degree!

You will need to have done equivalent biomedical science subjects to do med dent, pharm at Umelb in addition sit GAMSAT, get a gpa of 5.5-6 min, sit an interview, etc.

You're told a lie.
Postgraduate Med is fierce, same with dent.
Back 07' I went to the melbourne Uni open day and asked the person at the biomedical stand what is "genuinely/honestly the chances of transferring". She/he gave me a weird smile and said "Well, competition is fierce, but if you do well you'll get in! :S"
That, to me means: "HA! Good luck with that"

Anyway, back on topic. I'd choose Melbourne University's Biomedicine course. Don't even consider La Trobe if you have no qualms about going to Melb Uni.
