Foundation Studies Program (Fast Track) - Physical Science (X0G:5) (0100809) + Bachelor of Medical Research with Honours (M4G) (058589J)

Program Description Foundation Studies Program (Fast Track) - Physical Science (X0G:5) (0100809):

The Foundation Studies program is a direct academic pathway to first-year undergraduate degree study, or an equivalent. The program acts as a bridging course for international students who wish to study a university undergraduate degree course but who don’t yet meet academic requirements and/or have the English language skills for tertiary study.

To successfully complete the program, students must achieve a 50% pass in all units, including English.

Upon successful completion of the course, graduates can enter one of the University of Tasmania’s undergraduate degree courses.

Bachelor of Medical Research with Honours (M4G):

The Honours program in Medical Research is designed to provide students with a firm foundation for postgraduate study in Medical Research. For students not wishing to progress further, the opportunity to undertake an in-depth research project will provide an important understanding of the processes of medical research. As well as the major research project students are required to investigate and make presentations on an area unrelated to their research topic, to provide a broader understanding of important issues in contemporary biomedical research.

Graduates are considered research professionals and can expect to find employment in a range of areas including the pharmaceutical, pathology and biomedical industries, biotechnology companies, research institutes, hospitals and universities at both State and Commonwealth levels. They will also be well prepared for more advanced postgraduate study in a range of Medical Research areas, including research based PhD and MSc degrees.
