Bachelor of Medical Studies/Doctor of Medicine

Upon completing the six-year program, you will graduate with two degrees: the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMed) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD). We're one of the few universities in Australia that offers a medicine degree at an undergraduate level, allowing you to enter the combined program as an undergraduate student and graduate with both qualifications.

Your fourth year is dedicated to research, where you'll complete either an Independent Learning Project (ILP) or the Medicine Honours Program on a topic of your choice. You'll also complete 12 units of credit (generally two courses) of general education courses from a faculty other than Medicine & Health to broaden your education. Research enhances your employability, widens your knowledge as a clinician and opens doors to career opportunities beyond clinical practice, like medical research.

Throughout the program you'll be required to travel to various clinical environments associated with UNSW. Main Sydney hospitals include Prince of Wales Hospital (Randwick), St George Hospital (Kogarah), St Vincent's Hospital (Darlinghurst), Liverpool Hospital, Sydney Children's Hospital (Randwick), Royal Hospital for Women (Randwick), and Sutherland Hospital (Caringbah). Outside Sydney, clinical teaching takes place at Wagga Wagga Base Hospital, Albury Base Hospital, Wodonga Regional Health Service (Victoria), Port Macquarie Base Hospital, and Coffs Harbour Hospital.

For domestic students, the 2026 indicative first year full fee is $10,500, with the indicative full fee to complete the degree being $78,000. For international students, the 2026 indicative first year full fee is $95,500, with the indicative full fee to complete the degree being $647,000.

To apply, you must follow these steps: Step One – Register for the UCAT ANZ; Step Two – Sit the UCAT ANZ; Step Three – Submit a UAC Application; Step Four – Attend an interview (if selected). If you're successful based on the selection criteria and you've submitted your UAC application, you'll be invited for an interview, which will also count towards your overall application. International applicants must sit the UCAT ANZ or the International Student Admission Test (ISAT) and apply via UNSW's Apply Online portal or through UAC.
