Recognition of prior learning and opportunity to transfer credits

*The programme has been designed so that advanced transfer into year two of the programme may be a possibility if the applicant meets the above prerequisites and has a first degree in Biomedical Science.  This will include a thorough curriculum review of previous studies by an internal panel to ensure equivalence. The requirements of statutory, professional and regulatory agencies, relevant to the applicant’s career path will be taken into account before reaching a decision.

To support their application, displaying suitability for a career in medicine, paid or voluntary experience in a hospital or community setting, or other setting related to medicine or social services, that helps to demonstrate that the applicant has an understanding of the biological, psychological and social dimensions of medicine is advantageous but not essential.

Applicants need to meet academic and non-academic conditions or requirements before enrolment, and a conditional offer may not be converted to an unconditional offer solely based on meeting minimum grade requirements.
