Overview

Bachelor of Pre-Medicine, Science and Health

The Bachelor of Pre-Medicine, Science and Health is a three-year undergraduate degree providing a solid foundation towards graduate medicine, dentistry, veterinary studies, optometry, podiatry, physiotherapy or pharmacy. 

This degree will explore core content for medical school entry, including academic literacy, critical thinking skills and understanding 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. 

In the first year, you will study core foundational topics in anatomy, biology, chemistry, exercise physiology, and nutrition. 

In year two, under the guidance of the course coordinator, you can tailor your interests by selecting one of the following Majors:

  • Biomedical Research
  • Exercise Science
  • Medical Science
  • Molecular Medicine
  • Nutrition

In year three, a capstone subject examines medical case studies across topics in the same case-based learning format used by graduate medical schools worldwide. 

The cases are explored and managed via patient-oriented evidence summaries, group video presentations, clinical trial critiques and debates on ethical issues.

Any student (Domestic or International) in the Bachelor of Pre-Medicine, Science and Health, with a weighted GPA of 6.5 or above, who has met the minimal entry requirements for all other criteria, will be guaranteed an interview for the UOW Doctor of Medicine (MD).

Note: Students with a weighted GPA below 6.5, who have met all minimum entry requirements, will be considered using the standard entry pathway and competitive process.
