About this program
The Bachelor of Clinical Sciences is Flinders University's assured undergraduate pathway into the Doctor of Medicine (MD). Admission is highly competitive: successful applicants receive an offer covering both the Bachelor of Clinical Sciences and, subject to meeting progression requirements, the Doctor of Medicine itself. You build a foundation in biomedical and clinical sciences, including biochemistry, genetics and physiology, alongside early clinical exposure, before progressing directly into MD study. Graduates continue through to registration as a medical practitioner.

Admissions
Applicants must have completed Year 12 (or equivalent) and must not already have a record of higher education level study. Domestic applicants sit a selection test, with final ranking based on a combination of test score and Year 12 academic performance. International applicants who meet eligibility criteria are selected on Year 12 academic performance. The course also carries specific pre-clinical placement and inherent requirements (communication, sensory, physical and cognitive tasks) set out in Flinders' Medicine and clinical science placement requirements.
