Bachelor of Medical Science

Covering a range of scientific disciplines, the Medical Science degree allows you to choose subjects that suit your career goals.

If you are fascinated by the underlying science of medicine, and would like to pursue a career in medical research, hospital or pathology laboratories, the pharmaceutical or cosmetics industries, scientific sales or quality assurance, then consider the UWS Medical Science program.   

Part time-study is only available to local students and is generally completed by day classes as there are limited night classes.
