Overview

The Double Degree Medicine program comprises a three-year undergraduate degree in either arts or science, followed by the four-year graduate-entry Doctor of Medicine degree. Refer to 513200 Bachelor of Arts and 513910 Bachelor of Science for the undergraduate component.

In order to progress to the Doctor of Medicine, you need to meet all progression requirements (including satisfactorily completing a zero-credit point unit of study in Medicine) during your first-degree studies, as specified under the Bachelor of Arts/Doctor of Medicine or Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Medicine course rules found in the respective faculty handbook.

You will then be able to begin the Doctor of Medicine without being required to sit for the Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) or the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT), or to participate in the selection process for entry into the Doctor of Medicine.
