Credit transfer and recognition of prior learning

All subjects within the medical course are interdisciplinary in that they have input from several departments.

Teaching by an individual department is appropriate to each `bodily system' being studied and therefore does not follow a conventional sequential pattern. It is therefore not possible to equate a subject in the medical course to an equivalent subject elsewhere.

The small number of medical students who have previously undertaken tertiary studies may individually, after consultation with subject conveners, be exempt from some components (eg practical classes) of a subject.

However, all students must participate in a common assesment process and pass all prescribed subjects within the medical course.
