  • A maximum of 16 points of undergraduate/postgraduate (paired) subjects can be taken as electives under the following conditions:
  1. They may not be taken if these particular disciplines have been studied at an undergraduate level.
  2. Credit is not available from undergraduate studies for these subjects.
  • BMS500 Biomedical Research Methods must be completed prior to BMS508 Research Proposal.
  • Students intending to complete the MMedSc(Path) degree are required to complete BMS500 Biomedical Research Methods and BMS508 Research Proposal as these are prerequisite subjects for BMS510 Dissertation. Students intending to complete the Master's degree therefore have a choice of only 16 points of restricted elective subjects.
