MBBS Alternative Entry Pathway

UTAS Home › Faculty of Health Science › School of Medicine › Future Students › MBBS  › MBBS Alternative Entry Pathway

iconCommencing in 2013, changes will be implemented to MBBS year 1 (CAM101-102) and year 2 (CAM201-202), such that these become full-year units in 2013.  This will result in a proportion of the assessment for CAM101 and CAM201 occurring during second semester.  Therefore, finalised results for CAM101 and CAM201 will not be released at the end of first semester as the assessment for CAM101 and CAM201 will not be finalised until after completion of  examinations at the end of Semester 2. These changes will bring the assessment practices for MBBS Years 1 and 2 into alignment with MBBS Year 3. For current students, please refer to your Unit Outline for the most recent information.
