Bachelor of Medical Sciences

A Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) (BMedSci, BMedSc, BMSc, BSci(Med) or Bachelor of Medical Sciences is an undergraduate academic degree awarded for completed courses that generally last for 2–4 years. Acceleration modes are offered for students who decide to fast-track the duration of a relevant degree or pathway to graduate medical training (Doctor of Medicine) earlier, as opposed to completing a typical undergraduate degree which lasts 3–5 years.

Medical science students learn in depth about the human body; developing skills and knowledge on how the human body functions and how it reacts to disease and the drugs that are used to treat disease. It is possible for medical students to take an additional year that involves medical research that allows them to be conferred honours (BMedSc(Hons)) but this usually requires a high grade point average [GPA]. Top medical students are selected annually for this year-long research program. Graduates may enter a diverse range of roles including post-graduate studies, clinical medicine, academic research, pharmaceuticals and broader consulting roles.

In Australia, the Bachelor of Medical Science (BMedSc) degree is offered by Griffith University,University of New South Wales,University of Sydney,Monash University,Australian National University,University of Western Sydney,University of Newcastle,Flinders University,Charles Sturt University, Macquarie University and Central Queensland University.

At Western University, BMSc is a four-year degree differentiated from a BSc because it is offered in part by the university's faculty of medicine and due to the medical sciences orientation of the concentrations offered.
