Be empowered to lead the future of health 

Our award-winning Bachelor of Medical Studies/Doctor of Medicine (BMed/MD) is a combined undergraduate/postgraduate degree. You'll enter the program as an undergraduate student and graduate with both a bachelor's degree and the Doctor of Medicine. 

Throughout your medical studies, you’ll learn the basic medical sciences in relation to the human life cycle, examine social/ethical/legal issues related to healthcare and build your clinical and communication skills. As you progress through the program, you'll gain increased clinical exposure in hospital placements. Your fourth year is dedicated to research, where you'll complete either an Independent Learning Project (ILP) or honours year. In your final two years (the MD portion of the program), you'll complete clinical placements in surgery, internal medicine, psychiatry, primary care, obstetrics and gynaecology and paediatrics. This is your opportunity to discover which specialities interest you and what medical path you want to pursue when you graduate.
