• Complete no more than 10 introductory (100 coded) courses

Program notes

• If you have an interest in plants and animals more broadly please enrol into LFS100 Cell Biology. If you are interested in health-related bioscience, please enrol into LFS103 Introductory Bioscience.
• Students must commence the program in Semester 1
• Students must progress in a full-time mode in accordance with the requirements set out by the BBiomedSc(Accel)  program and complete the program in 2-years
• Students will be transferred to the standard Bachelor of Biomedical Science program if they (1) decide to move to part-time enrolment; (2) are unable to maintain the high course workload associated with the accelerated program; or (3) are unable to maintain a GPA of 5.5 or better each semester.
• Students will normally enrol in five (5) courses in each semester (60 units), as well as completing additional courses over Session 8, to enable completion of the BBiomedSc(Accel) program in 2-years. However, students may enrol in up to 72 units on the recommendation of their mentor, and with the approval of the Program Coordinator
• Where there are exceptional unforeseen circumstances such as in the case of illness, students must apply for special dispensation to the Program Coordinator
• The unit value of all courses is 12 units unless otherwise specified
• It is each students responsibility to enrol correctly according to your course requisites, program rules and requirements and be aware of the academic calendar dates
• Courses within this program are assessed using a variety of assessment methods which may include essays, seminar presentations, reports, in-class tests and examinations
• As part of your USC program, you may apply to Study Overseas to undertake courses with an overseas higher education provider
• Only a full-time study option is available to international students on a Student Visa
• Refer to the Managing your progression page for help in understanding your program structure, reviewing your progress and planning remaining courses.
