bachelor of Medical Science<br />
Duration: 3 years<br />
campus: Joondalup<br />
Enables students to learn about the basis for human disease, its<br />
detection and the range of scientific endeavours to treat disease<br />
and improve health. As the complexity of healthcare increases<br />
there will be a greater need for medical science graduates<br />
to support the continuum of health service delivery from<br />
community-based projects to highly specialised laboratories.<br />
Major: Preclinical Science – 16-unit primary major must be<br />

preclinical science<br />
campus: Joondalup<br />
This 16-unit major equips students with a broad knowledge in<br />
medical sciences, as well as the skills and attributes required for<br />
continuing personal and professional development, life-long<br />
learning and inquiry. Students will be taught using a combination<br />
of in-class lectures with online availability, tutorials, laboratory<br />
sessions and a ‘real-life’ research environment, which reinforces<br />
theory through practical skills development. The major develops<br />
graduates’ ability to read, reflect, critically evaluate literature<br />
and current scientific issues, as well as developing professional<br />
knowledge in the medical sciences. Assessment tasks will<br />
reinforce communication, teamwork, critical appraisal, problemsolving<br />
and decision-making skills and a cross-cultural outlook.<br />
The Preclinical Science Major consists of 16 units /<br />
