FAQs
›
Q: How many hours per week will I need for each unit of study?
Up to 10 hours. Basic sciences in particular are content rich. A 6 credit point unit equates to about 130 hours per semester. This includes face to face, online, assessment and study time. Most working students will undertake 1-2 units per semester.
›
Q. Is there any fee assistance?
You can pay your fees up front for the units you study, or defer payments through the federal government’s FEE-HELP loan scheme so that you pay later through the taxation system. More information is available on the Future Student website at http://sydney.edu.au/future-students/ ›
Q. What is the cost for domestic students?
Each 6 credit point unit costs $3350 Master degree costs $26,800 (48 credit points) 23
›
What is the difference between a Master of Science in Medicine and a Master of Medicine?
› Which degree you enrol in (and are later awarded), depends on your prior qualifications; some units of study are designed for medical doctors, other units are designed for doctors and other health professionals › Master of Medicine – admission normally requires a Doctor of Medicine or Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS).
› Master of Science in Medicine – admission normally requires a bachelor’s degree in a health discipline with first- or second-class honours. Applicants who do not meet this requirement may be admitted on the basis of having completed equivalent work experience.
› We are hoping to offer specific units to non-medical graduates in the future.
