This program is especially designed to prepare you for postgraduate studies in medicine. You will complete a full bachelor degree in just two years, including specialist courses in Medical Science, developing knowledge and skills you need to successfully sit the Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT).
In this program you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the human body, and what happens when diseases, infections and clinical disorders occur. You’ll study cell biology, biogenetics, chemistry, human
physiology and anatomy, science research methods, and communication. You will develop practical skills through projects and placements with hospitals, clinical trial centres, pharmaceutical companies and research institutes. You’ll also develop knowledge and skills to work in applied biomedical industries and medical research.
