Overview

Whether you’re aiming to pursue veterinary studies, optometry, medicine or physiotherapy, the Bachelor of Pre-Medicine, Science and Health provides a solid foundation on which to build your dream career.

Depending on which major/minor you choose, this course also leads to a wide range of postgraduate study or professional career options in the physical and life sciences, allied health or health informatics.

This three-year degree explores core content for medical school entry including academic literacy, critical thinking skills and an understanding of what it takes to be a successful health practitioner.

Extracurricular activities will demonstrate your leadership, dedication, and cooperation. From your first year, you will have opportunities to participate in a wide range of volunteer and enrichment activities in the community. These will assist you in developing real-world skills and prepare you for a career in health and medicine.

In your final year you will undertake a capstone subject which examines medical case studies across topics in the same case-based learning format used by graduate medical schools across the world.

See the course handbook for more information. 

High performing students from a diverse range of backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply, in particular, Indigenous and rural students.
