Common Questions
The Medicine/Arts program can be completed in seven or eight years of full-time study. To complete it in seven years, you'll need to complete an approved arts-focused Independent Learning Project (ILP) and an additional arts course above the normal study load (24 units of credit) in at least one term. All other students will require eight years to complete the combined program.
Your arts courses are generally taken between phases of the medicine program. It is recommended that you start your arts courses in your second year of study. The best time to take a year off the medicine program to concentrate on your arts studies is in your third or fourth year, before doing your Independent Learning Project (ILP) and clinical refresher course.
To fulfil the requirements of the arts degree, you need to complete 96 units of credit within the Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture (ADA), including a major specialisation (48 UOC) and a minor specialisation (36 UOC) plus ADA prescribed electives (12 UOC), or a second major specialisation (48 UOC). Available arts majors include Asian studies, Chinese studies, Criminology, Creative writing, English, Environmental humanities, European studies, Film studies, French studies, Geographical studies, German studies, Global development, History, Indigenous studies, Japanese studies, Korean studies, Linguistics, Media culture and technology, Music studies, Philosophy, Politics and international relations, Sociology and anthropology, Spanish studies, and Theatre and performance studies.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
