Good to hear people doing the degree just because they like science, not because of medicine.lol hi. not sure at the moment; way too early to know. for the record, no i'm not doing medsci because of medicine.

Med Sci isn't necessarily a predecessor to graduate-entry medicine, or that UNSW-only provisional stream entry (linear or whatever it's called). (In fact, considering you could simply study first-year chem and bio by yourself and do some prep for this and that, it'd be better if you did something you enjoy and are good at... that isn't medicine.)
Some people do Med Sci for the love of science, some for prepping for the GAMSAT for graduate-entry medicine, others for graduate-entry dentistry.
... besides, if you want med, get into it undergraduate-level.
xD LOL xD

How many people are enrolled in the course this year? First year isn't that bad...except for the timetables...is SCIF still in the 6pm-7pm spot on Tuesdays? *shudders*
Lol the good thing about SCIF is there's no final exam [it's a take home, creative writing type assessment - good fun!], so there's no real need to show up to lectures after week 7. Loved it! It meant -3 hours of face to face class, and -9 hours of actually being at uni!! [well for me anyways heheh
] However the lectures where quite interesting...

Perspectives in Medical Science sounds like a gay subject I did in first year. They made us write essays about the industry and NATA and jobs we can and cannot do, and we did a practical component once where we made a calibration curve but didn't understand why we were making one
This course will identify and develop graduate attributes and capabilities and will include student portfolio, project management, team work, oral presentations, report writing, critical analysis, networks, peer review, debate presentations, and giving effective feedback.
In addition, broaden students' understanding of the advent of scientific medicine in the 19th and 20th centuries, looking particularly at the intellectual climate which made such innovations possible, and the extent to which science is important throughout society, well beyond laboratory-based conceptions of scientific activity.
The course is based on a series of lectures, tutorials, workshops and colloquia given by academic staff from the Faculties of Science, Arts and Social Science, and Medicine plus visiting specialists, on topics of historical, philosophical and contemporary relevance in medical science.
It's pretty refreshing after hours of chem and maths study

Refer to this thread http://community.boredofstudies.org...edicine/202462/tutor-med-science-student.html for discussion on "Perspectives in Medical Science"
It is the most expensive course in the entire BMedSc degree, charged at a Band 3 rate.

It's cheaper in the sense that it is only worth 3 UOC. But if you half your 6 UOC courses the HECS would be lower than Perspectives in Medical Science.

Actually SCIF1111 is 6 units. So it must have changed from when you did it.

are there any differences between Medical Science at UNSW and USYD?
what's good and bad (eg. fun and boring) about Medical Science?
where can a degree in Med Science take you? ie career options, post grad studies
thanks

You have asked that exact question three times now, and you're going to get the exact same answer for the third time.
There is no difference. It doesn't matter. They're equal.
Pick one.
You're currently in the UNSW thread, asking which is better out of UNSW and USYD isn't smart.
Secondly, avenues for employment in MedSc have been covered here:
