The Bachelor of Medical Science Bachelor of Business is designed to produce graduates who are prepared for scientific practice or business and management in health and medical businesses or institutions. The aim of this combined degree is to produce graduates with professional qualifications in both medical science and business, so they can practise in both areas. Graduates who can cross the divide between medical science and business are highly sought-after by employers because they not only have scientific and business skills, but they also have transferable skills such as analytical, critical thinking and communication skills. The course offers opportunities in the growth area of health services and management.
