In the Medicine/Arts degree, students complete an Arts degree in combination with the Bachelor of Medical Studies/Doctor of Medicine degree over an eight-year period. This requires the students to take leave from the Medicine program to complete Arts subjects. Generally this leave is taken between the phases of the Medicine program. The Arts degree allows you to pursue a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including languages, arts, history, philosophy and business. In whichever area you choose to study, you will develop transferable skills and in-depth knowledge, and gain the tools to think critically, communicate effectively and conduct research independently.

Why choose this degree?

The UNSW Medicine/Arts degree allows students to develop skills across various disciplines and interest areas. Medicine at UNSW is an innovative integrated outcomes-based program. Students are exposed to clinical teaching and patients from year one, and there is a strong emphasis on collaborative learning. The independent learning project gives graduates in-depth exposure to research and critical analysis.

Who should choose this degree?

Committed students with a strong desire to practice in medicine underpinned by an understanding of research, those who demonstrate personal attributes such as empathy and reflection, and those with well-developed communication skills and who work well in teams.

Medical practitioners in hospitals and private practices

Accreditation / Professional Recognition

After completing formal program requirements for the award of the BMed MD degrees, you will be provisionally registered by the Medical Board of Australia to work for at least one year in selected hospitals before obtaining final registration as a medical practitioner. International graduates are not guaranteed an internship and should check with state health departments to confirm internship availability. Although the UNSW Medicine degree is recognized internationally, many countries require foreign graduates to sit a licensing examination to ensure the doctor understands local health problems and health care systems prior to practicing.
