Course Overview
The Bachelor of Medical Science will provide students with comprehensive knowledge and skills in key disciplines in Medical Science and on the interactions between cellular, chemical and biological science that underpin medical practice. The curriculum builds upon the foundational science core major, and enables the understanding of human biological systems at the molecular, cellular, and organ and whole organism level. There is a focus on professional skills, and an integrated approach to examining contemporary issues in health and disease in the latter half of the degree. The B Med.
