Bachelor of Medical Science
The Bachelor of Medical Science degree requires 3 years of full-time study
and satisfactory completion of 144 credit points including at least 24
credit points at 300-level. The degree provides a solid foundation of
study in areas such as anatomy, physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, neuroscience,
biology and research methods.
The Bachelor of Medical Science degree provides an excellent first degree
for students wishing to enrol in post-graduate studies in medicine, teaching
or research. Students seeking a research orientation are encouraged to
complete a BSc (Honours) year and then seek enrolment in either an MSc
(Honours) or a PhD degree program.
The Bachelor of Medical Science degree may also be taken as a double
degree program with the Bachelor of Commerce (BMedSc/BComm) and completed
in four and a half years of full-time study.
The Bachelor of Medical Science degree may also be taken as a double
award program with the TAFE Diploma of Health
Science (Pathology Techniques).
