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 a MSc - Research 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
Laboratory Techniques (Pathology Testing).
