Graduate Certificate in Medical Sciences

The Graduate Certificate in Medical Sciences is a postgraduate degree that aims to develop the medical sciences knowledge and skills of students from a range of non-science backgrounds. The program offers courses in Human Anatomy and Physiology with a clinically-relevant approach. Students will develop a nuanced understanding of medical science including the organisation and functioning of the human body. This also includes basic molecular and cellular principles of human biology and genetics, as well as other disciplines relevant to the understanding of pathology and disease processes. Students will become familiar with the process of obtaining ethics approval for research projects involving humans and develop a knowledge of clinical research methods.
