    Career

    Future careers

    Our medicine graduates go on to pursue diverse and rewarding careers in a wide range of roles across the medical industry. Upon successful completion of this program, you’ll be eligible to apply for provisional registration with the Medical Board of Australia. This will allow you to commence your one-year hospital internship following graduation, which is required to gain general registration as a doctor in Australia.

    Further study and experience will allow you to specialise in a specific area of medicine, such as general practice, paediatrics, cardiology, oncology, general surgery, orthopaedics, pathology, radiology or psychiatry. If you choose not to work as a medical practitioner in a hospital or private practice, this degree will also prepare you for other career opportunities in medical research, health policy and medical education.

    The arts component of your degree has two key career benefits. Firstly, you’ll expand your knowledge beyond the medical realm, which can enhance your future career prospects. Secondly, the arts courses you choose can complement your medical degree. For example, you could use your arts degree to study a foreign language which will directly help you communicate as a clinician.

    Upon successful completion of the Doctor of Medicine, you’ll be eligible to apply for provisional registration with the Medical Board of Australia.
