Course overview

This Combined Bachelor's and Master's (CBM) is a 4-year accelerated program for high performing students. Over your first three years you’ll complete an extended major in Biochemistry of Nutrition, and some units from the Master of Biomedical Science. You can then choose to exit after three years with an Advanced Bachelor's Degree in Molecular Sciences, or continue with the Master of Biomedical Science and be awarded a Bachelor of Molecular Sciences and a Master of Biomedical Science at the end of the four years.

If you decide not to continue in the CBM you can exit after three years with a Bachelor of Molecular Sciences (Advanced). Note that the Advanced Bachelor Degree is available only as a CBM exit award. It is not offered for direct enrolment and is not awarded on completion of the CBM.
