Bachelor of Medical Research

About

This program gives students who are enrolled in the Western Sydney University Doctor of Medicine (MD) the opportunity to take a leave of absence from the normal medical program for 12 months full time or 24 months part time, after successfully completing years 1 and 2 of MD, in order to gain a more detailed experience in medical research than is provided in the normal medical program. Years 1 and 2 of the Bachelor of Medical Research are identical to years 1 and 2 of MD. It is expected that students will return to the medical program on completion of the intercalated year, which will complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Medical Research, but the degree is also available as an exit point for those who do not wish to resume MD. Note: Alternative entry options apply for this degree.
