COURSE DESCRIPTION
Overview
Start your medical career at one of the top 50 medical schools in the world.* Through our six-year medical program, you’ll graduate with two degrees – the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMed) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD). This degree will prepare you for professional practice and empower you to lead the future of health.
The program is renowned for its dynamic blend of hands-on clinical experience and research-focused learning. From your first year, you’ll be applying course content to real-world scenarios and developing your clinical skills in some of Australia’s largest metropolitan and rural hospitals. Your fourth year is dedicated to medical research, where you’ll gain the skills and knowledge to become a change leader in health.
Future careers
Our graduates go on to pursue diverse and rewarding careers in a wide range of roles across the medical industry. Further study and experience will allow you to specialise in a specific area of medicine, such as general practice, paediatrics, cardiology, oncology, general surgery, orthopaedics, pathology, radiology or psychiatry. If you choose not to work as a medical practitioner in a hospital or private practice, this degree will also prepare you for other career opportunities in medical research, health policy and medical education.

Upon successful completion of the six-year program, you’ll be eligible to apply for provisional registration with the Medical Board of Australia. This will allow you to commence your one-year hospital internship following graduation, which is required to gain general registration as a doctor in Australia.
