The Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health offers internship subjects at 200-level, that provide research experience opportunities for strong students to develop and hone their practical and research skills. Through an internship subject, students with an interest in research have an opportunity to gain experience “at the bench” or “in the field” as part of their research training. For further information including pre-requisites please refer to the Information and Assessment form below.
Each year the Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health holds an annual awards and prize night in recognition and celebration of our highest achieving students.
The Allan Sefton Memorial Lecture and Prize is an annual event in honour of the late Allan Sefton, who was well known in the Illawarra for his work as a naturalist and conservator of the local environment. In recognition of his contributions to environmental science in the Illawarra region, the Allan Sefton fund is used to award a prize to the best student graduating in the Bachelor of Environmental Science Honours Program at the University. The prize was first presented in 1993.
The Bert Halpern Lecture and Student Prize Night is an annual event presented by a distinguished scientist on a subject in Chemistry or Biochemistry. It honours the memory of Bert Halpern, the Foundation Professor of Chemistry at the University of Wollongong from 1970-1980. In recognition of his contributions to science, he was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1978.
The annual GSM Emeritus Professor John Hogg Memorial Lecture and Prize Night. This year’s guest speaker was Dr Karen Murphy, Executive Director Medical Services and Clinical Governance ISLHD, who has a wealth of experience prior to and within medicine (including a BA in interior design and paramedicine). Dr Murphy spoke about sometimes taking the road less travelled and reminded our final year students to never stop dreaming.
We also re-introduced the student Excellence in Medical Education Awards. These awards provide an opportunity for students to recognise the doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and educators who have made a significant impact on their learning. Colleagues are nominated in various different categories, with a small panel reviewing the nominees and deciding upon a winner in collaboration with WUMSS. The list of winners are below. We would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the Educator of the Year 2024 - Dr Taleitha Atkins, a UOW MD graduate, GP and Academic in Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands hubs.
Open hours: 9:00am – 4:00pm, Monday - Friday, including session breaks (exceptions apply)
