Overview

Bachelor of Science (Medical Science)

Innovative approaches to health mean the broad medical and health sciences sectors are expanding, and graduates are in demand. 

The Bachelor of Science (Medical Science) will give you the foundation for a rewarding career in healthcare or research.  

In this three-year course, you will develop knowledge of the structure and function of the human body, from the molecular level to whole systems.

This program at the University of Sydney will give you an excellent foundation for the University of Sydney's graduate medicine or dentistry programs, or you may wish to launch straight into graduate research in medical science.

You will cover the basic sciences in your first year: chemistry, biology, mathematics, and electives. 

These units will give you the fundamental knowledge needed for the clinical subjects you will undertake in your second and third years.

In the second year, you will complete core medical science units in physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, anatomy, immunobiology and pathology. 

You will also be able to take science or non-science electives. You will choose from medical science units in the third year and complete an interdisciplinary capstone project.

 If you plan a research career, you will need to consider an advanced coursework pathway or honours, followed by research in a PhD program.
