Overview

Bachelor of Medical and Health Sciences (Honours) (Dean's Scholar)

Medical and health science provides insight into the structure and function of the human body at all levels of organisation. 

This knowledge can be used directly to work alongside other health professionals within the medical research and clinical health fields in both private industry and hospital settings. 

It can also be an underpinning knowledge for postgraduate medicine, dentistry, and most other allied health professional areas. 

In their various roles, Medical and Health professionals are involved in developing therapies and applying diagnostic methods and treatments associated with health and disease.

This degree includes opportunities to develop your research knowledge and skills throughout the degree and the chance to participate in various research enrichment activities with options to gain hands-on experience in the diverse range of research laboratories. 

This degree at UOW will prepare you for a career as a  research scientist, medical scientist, laboratory manager, technical writer or pharmaceutical scientist or prepare you for other postgraduate options.

The first year covers the core sciences, including Human and General Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physiology, and Anatomy. 

After studying the core science subjects, there is the opportunity to customise individual programs of study with a wide selection of elective subjects.

You will also develop an understanding of and demonstrate practical applications of medical research via Medical Science Research Project opportunities and the final year Honours subject.
