Overview
Macquarie University is home to Australia’s newest medical school. Macquarie aims to prepare their medical graduates for the predicted environments in which they will practice as future leaders in health care. A Macquarie graduate is patient- and safety-focused, culturally responsive, globally aware, and equipped to work within increasingly digital health systems.
The Bachelor of Clinical Science (2 years) / Doctor of Medicine (4 years) is an innovative, combined program package for international high school graduates seeking a direct undergraduate pathway into medicine at Macquarie University.
This course offers distinct advantages if you wish to apply for the Macquarie MD:
- A 3% bonus automatically applied to weighted GPA
- 20 interview places reserved for Bachelor of Clinical Science graduates
- Automatic completion of prerequisite study through core units
This fast-tracked course uses Macquarie’s two regular sessions, as well as two shorter periods between these sessions, to complete a three-year bachelor qualification in only two years.
Program
The Bachelor of Clinical Science / Doctor of Medicine at Macquarie is an innovative and accelerated degree focused on human clinical sciences and building the foundational professional skills you’ll need for a career in medicine, allied health, or medical research. You’ll apply knowledge of biomedical, medical and clinical science to the human body using a system-based approach where mechanisms of disease are taught alongside normal structure and function.
This degree will build your practical skills using the latest simulation technology and through working with human anatomical specimens. You’ll learn in an environment that is home to Macquarie University Hospital—Australia’s first and only not-for-profit hospital on a university campus.
You’ll have the opportunity to undertake work experience in a healthcare setting or a medical research facility, and the chance to develop a broad knowledge of the fundamental biochemical, physiological, and anatomical workings of the human body that is necessary to confidently pursue careers in the field of health and medicine.
