    Bachelor of Clinical Science

    About

    A career in medicine, allied health or medical research is about more than treating illness – it’s about changing lives. Driven by compassion and a commitment to helping others, health professionals play a vital role in shaping healthier communities. And with growth and job security projected to continue in Australia and overseas, these dynamic and diverse careers offer the chance to make a real and rewarding difference now and into the future.

    The Bachelor of Clinical Science is your fast track into medicine, physiotherapy, audiology, speech and language pathology, and public health. By taking advantage of an intensive summer session, you’ll complete the degree in just two years and progress to postgraduate studies sooner. You’ll study in state-of-the-art wet and dry labs located alongside the Macquarie University Hospital – Australia’s only not-for-profit hospital on a university campus – and 30 specialist clinics. And in small, close-knit classes, you’ll learn from internationally recognised clinicians, researchers and practicing professionals in a research-intensive environment.

    Academic requirements

    International selection rank: 90

    The selection rank is based on the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). It determines the minimum eligibility requirements for entry to Macquarie.

    Your home country score is converted into an Australian selection rank. Our qualification converter tool can help you calculate the minimum score you need for your entry.
