Hi UTS!
What do you think makes UTS the best place to study medical science as opposed to USYD and other Sydney universities?
Hi Ailish
Thanks for your question- it's a really common one we get, so we're glad you asked!
At UTS, we're all about making sure you get the practical experiences you need to excel in the science field, which means that within the Bachelor of Medical Science, we try and get you into the lab as much as possible so you can be experimenting and testing out different theories and experiments as often as you can.
In second and third years, you’ll gain industry relevant experience with unique subjects like evidence based medical science and case studies in
medical science. You can have a look at the medical science handbook here to see what kind of subjects you'll be taking
http://handbook.uts.edu.au/courses/c10184.htmlYou'll also apply the knowledge and theory that you learn in the classroom to real world case studies, and help solve real problems in society. And if your super keen on getting involved and gaining some work experience, you can also do an internship as one of your subjects.
We're also keeping up to date with all the technology and equipment you need as a future scientist! We opened our superlab in Building 7 and have just opened our new Hive Superlab in Building 2 (UTS Central). These are designed for collaboration and probably look a lot different to the labs and equipment you might use at high school. You can check them out here.
