Career options

    (ii) You get 99.00-99.85, you have a guaranteed FULL-FEE spot once you finish you undergrad degree at UoM (eg. Biomed). As the the name suggests, it costs a bucket-load, but it is guaranteed.

Thanks ~ this is what I was looking for... a light (however expensive!) at the end of the tunnel 

Not if you can't get a job at the end of it, internships are NOT guaranteed for full-fee students.

So how can you guarantee a job/internship for full fee students ~ what are the requirements?
Also, a pre-requisite of biomedicine is physics, right?
How is bachelor of science different to biomedicine?
Thanks

You can't, it's not guaranteed at all.

The GAMSAT has physics in it, not sure of it being compulsory in Biomed.

Biomed has a much more competitive cohort (90% want to do MD or dent? -guess) and is more "focused" on med-related subjects. Science has people from everywhere with some wanting to do research, engineering, etc. It also has more breadth - more career options if you don't get into med. Personally I'd so Sci over Biomed.

So what - they do a lucky dip of all the FFP students who've graduated from UoM, and then give those lucky ones an internship?

Nope, but only the ones with the best marks will get them (+other stuff)

[spectroscopy]

did this guy even check the websites before asking LMAO

[Russ]

Physics is not a prereq for biomed but you'll do a subject on it in first year.

I would also strongly encourage you to search the website before asking these basic questions

FFP = $230,000 fees that you need to pay in total. You can get FEE-HELP and loan ~$100k from the government, but you'll need to front the rest (around $60k a year).

Btw, for FFP, we have to pay fee first then uni will send the acceptance form right?
I heard from my career adviser that if we don't pay fee before the deadline (around in the end of Jan or Feb), the uni will consider as we don't accept their offer

Why is it $230k? I thought $30k/yr so 3 yrs ~ 90k
Does anyone know for FFP, do we have to pay the fee for the whole year or semesters before the course starts?

[jasrulz63]

It's not $30k a year, and even if it was, the course is four years anyway, so more than $90k.

If you consider that ~$100k can go on FEE-HELP, then it's closer to $30k/year (for four years; total ~$120k)

[Jenny_2108]

^ I thought they were talking about science/biomed undergrad
yeah thats true for med postgrad though

[jasrulz63]

There's no FFP for undergrad degrees anymore. Probably one of the biggest benefits UoM get out of offering a masters-level medicine degree is that they can offer full-fee domestic places and charge that $230k+. The FFP they're talking about is through the MD guaranteed pathway, which is achieved before starting your undergraduate degree (which will be a CSP place).

There is FFP for undergrad degree but for international students only. Local students will be CSP

[pi]

I don't think jasrulz63 knew you were an international student haha

[Jenny_2108]

lol its easy to recognise. You can see Eng of international students will not as good as local if its their 2nd language

[jasrulz63]

Absolutely no idea haha. Your english was good enough to fool me .
