Read about the Graduate Entry Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) pathway via the Biomedical Science degree. This is of value to those students who are looking at alternative (Plan B) pathways to get into postgraduate Medicine. Do keep in mind though, that this pathway would also be extremely competitive and completing of this degree does not guarantee entry into Medicine.
In short, at least 50 of the available places in the Graduate Entry Medicine program are reserved for students who have completed Monash University's Bachelor of Biomedical Science. Generally, only students who commence a first-year undergraduate Biomedical Science degree at Monash University will be considered eligible for entry via this pathway into Graduate Entry Medicine at Monash University.
