Block 8 - Medical Science Stream Core (Min CP: 54,Max CP: 54)
Note:
Students in the Medical Science stream also complete 18 cp of 3000-level Medical Science disciplinary selective units.
The Medical Science stream requirements changed in 2024, resulting in changes to 2000-level MEDS units for students who began their degree before 2024.
MEDS2001, MEDS2002, MEDS2004 and MEDS2005 are discontinued and replaced by PHSI2007/PHSI2907, PCOL2021, MIMI2002/MIMI2902 and ANAT2011. ANAT2011 requires prerequisite BIOL1008, which will need to be completed as one of your Science elective units.
Block 9 - Science Units (Min CP: 30,Max CP: 42)
Note:
Candidates must complete 96 credit points of Science (Medical Science stream) study, including:
- 54cp core units
- 18cp 3000-level selective units
- 12 credit points of OLEs
- Elective units as required
Math and Chem units taken as part of the Engineering component may be counted towards the 96 cp total. See Science faculty handbook for list of Science units and majors: http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks/science/
