Key features

• Combined undergraduate/postgraduate degree
  We’re one of the few universities in Australia that offers a medicine degree at an undergraduate level. You’ll enter our combined program as an undergraduate student and graduate with both a bachelor’s degree and the Doctor of Medicine. When you complete the Doctor of Medicine, you’ll be eligible for provisional registration with the Medical Board of Australia and be ready to commence the next phase of your career.
   
• Design your degree  
  Personalise a degree unique to your interests, aspirations, and career goals. You can explore culture-defining knowledge that spans the humanities, languages, media, social sciences, environment, and much more. 
   
• Research skills and experience
  In the research year of the medicine program, you’ll complete either an Independent Learning Project (ILP) or honours year on a topic of your choice. Research enhances your employability, widens your knowledge as a clinician and opens doors to career opportunities beyond clinical practice, like medical research.
