Why study this course

This Bachelor of Medical Science is offered over three years and run jointly by the Science and Medicine faculties. Medical science underpins the study of Medicine. Students will learn about the human body; how it functions down to its smallest parts; how it reacts to disease and the drugs that are used to treat disease. Discover the processes of development from the fertilised ovum, to why we all look different and the role genetics plays, how and why we have natural defences and which structures and parts of our brain command how we move, think and feel.

Student review

Oh, my time studying medical science at UNSW was truly fantastic! The curriculum was comprehensive, and the professors were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. The practical emphasis on laboratory work and research projects gave me valuable hands-on experience, and I felt well-prepared for the challenges of the healthcare field. The university's emphasis on innovation and cutting-edge research opportunities made the learning environment engaging and exciting. Additionally, the community at UNSW was diverse and vibrant, creating a great social and academic atmosphere. Overall, I'm grateful for the enriching experiences and the solid foundation the medical science program at UNSW provided for my future endeavors in the medical field.

Student review

positive: learned a lot about the different fields of science eg anatomy, biochem, pharmacology. Good in terms of broad knowledge. Good for those who wants to study medicine as a starter course. Negative: course is not specific in any field, no majoring in any subjects so its harder to find a job especially without doing honour year.

Student review

The course was interesting and challenging. The tutors were often very hard working and inspiring. If you are interested in doing medical research then the degree gives you opportunities to immerse yourself in the research world. However, if that isn't your goal the course doesn't leave you with many other options at the end. You also have to do honours and at least a PhD to have a career in research, so it is just the beginning. Also, the commute is terrible, live as close to campus as possible.
