Hey, so basically my plan is to do BsC with intentions of getting into postgraduate MD course or DDS. I also wouldnt mind optometry, I'm into the health sciences really..
But I don't know if I'll manage a 65 or whatever gamsat score you need and the high GPA they require to get into that graduate entry pathway.
So as a backup, I am considering doing subjects in order to do Engineering - mechanical or biomedical... (not sure which one yet, have to decide depending upon employability chances and career options, would prefer bioeng though).
From research and people, i have to do the following subjects in first year.
Chem1 Bio1 Calc 2 ESD 1
Chem2 Bio2 Lin Alg ESD2
assuming this is correct, 2 of my breadth subjects get taken up in first year.
then second year I have to do my MD prereqs - anatomy, physiology and biochem.. and then my engineering Prereqs, which I dont know much about.
Anat1 Biochem1 Phys1 eng subs
Biochem2 Phys2 eng subs
then 3rd year,
dont know much what i have to do except the major.
which i have a feeling has to be something to do with engineering, not med.
cause i liked the sound of 'Microbiology, Infection and Immunology'
Question is whether these subject selections are actually possible, and if someone has done this pathway on AN, if they could advise me on what their subjects were in order to do engineering (mechanical or biomedical).

Keep in mind that you don't have to do the ESD subjects to do grad engineering - this is only if you want to do grad engineering in 2 years after BSc. If you don't do ESD, I think you can still do Eng, but it will be 3 years.

Wow, okay, thanks bro, :) (p.s where are you these days? haha)
so i dont have to do esd 1 or 2 to do engineering subjects in second year?
because yeah, im pretty sure i have to do either a mechanical systems major in order to do mechanical eng, or bioengineering systems in order to do biomedical engineering.

I know very little from the engineering side of things, but in second year you only have to do these three subs for MD prereqs:
-Principles of Human Structure
-Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
-Human Physiology
Should leave you with plenty of room for engineering subjects. :)

oo right so no 'techniques in biomolecular science' or 'research based physiology' ?
sweeeet haha
yeah it will I guess :)

Yes, Techniques and Research based are not part of the MD, DDS pre-requisites.
-
wonderful haha.
Looking at this link - http://www.eng.unimelb.edu.au/study/graduate/master-eng-biomedical.html
it seems that I must do the bioengineering systems major in order to get into masters of engineering.
Damn, microbiology immunology and infection major looked cool haha.
-
Like somebody said, that's if you want the 1 year credit to finish your MEng faster

Only if you want to do the 2-year engineering pathway.

You bet it does! :p

Wait, so.
I can do that major in microbiology, immunology and infection, and still do engineering (3 years) ?
lol.
my day just got gooooooooooooooooooooooooood.
I thought TREX meant I dont have to do ESD1 or ESD2 in first year... :p

Wheres the breadth subjects ( subjects outside science/biomedical ) fit in. I thought you couldn't do science as a breadth.
And that at least 50 units have to be breadth.

from the UoM website:
Breadth requirements for the Bachelor of Science are:
A student can take up to 75 points (six subjects) of breadth study;
A student must complete a minimum of 50 points (four subjects) of breadth study including at least 12.5 points at Level 2 or Level 3;
A student may complete a maximum of 37.5 points of breadth (three subjects) at Level 1.
so in first year it'd look like:
chem 1 bio1 calc2 breadth
chem 2 bio2 lin alg breadth
second year:
human physiology Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Principles of Human Structure breadth
Principles of spare subject -- blah.. Experimental Microbiology spare subject... blah - Pharmacology: How Drugs Work breadth
Microbiology and
Immunology
with the above subjects,
i can major in either...
microbiology, immunity and infection
human structure and function
or
pharmacology
with 2 breadths available..
-
if
-Principles of Human Structure
-Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
-Human Physiology
are the med and dds prereqs, does that mean that you could do them as breadth in an arts or commerce degree? just curious

I'd think you would have to do the first year biology subjects (2) and the first year chemistry subjects (2), so no idea how that could work as breadth units :S

Is esd a breath?
-
No.
-
Why do we have to take up both calculus2 and linear algebra for engineering how annoying
-
Can you do 3rd year subjects in 2nd year?
-
Can you do 3rd year subjects in 2nd year?
Yes if you satisfy the relevant prerequisites. In that case, level 3 subjects don't necessarily correlate with being third year subjects.
