Academic eligibility

  • 1+3.5 pathway: Applicants should hold, or expect to receive the equivalent of a first class or a good upper second class Honours Bachelor's degree or integrated Master's degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject*. A pass or above at Master's level is acceptable, however a Master's degree is not required for this pathway. Where an applicant does not meet this requirement (e.g. they hold a lower second class undergraduate degree), they are eligible if they hold, or expect to receive, a Master's degree with minimum pass or equivalent before starting their studies.
  • 3.5 pathway: Applicants should hold, or expect to receive the equivalent of a first class or a good upper second class Honours bachelor's degree or integrated Master's degree, plus a pass or above at Master's level in a relevant subject*.  

*Typically, we expect these to have a strong biological or biomedical science component. Applicants whose degree subject(s) do not directly focus on these, but who have relevant work experience are also welcome to apply.
