A bachelor’s degree in Health and Medicine may be pursued after completion of high school. Students can choose from a wide variety of subjects such as Biotechnology, Microbiology, Neuroscience, and Genetics. However, if you wish to pursue the traditional degree of medicine, doing a bachelor’s in any pre-medical subject such as Biological and Social Sciences can help with your prospects. Students aiming to study in a medical school must meet its pre-requisites which typically include taking a Biology, Physics, and Chemistry course with Lab in their undergraduate study. The coursework for a bachelor’s depends on the subject you have chosen. However, a typical pre-medical program includes core courses like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Cellular Biochemistry, Psychology, Statistics and Calculus, Anatomy and Physiology along with Behavioural Science. The degree spans four years and may cost up to $120,000, depending on the university.

Students who want to specialize further may choose to pursue a master’s degree in any of the above-mentioned subjects. To complete the degree students must submit an original thesis. The degree spans 2 years and may cost up to $65,580.

Students enroll in a training program comprising a series of lectures, workshops, and practical sessions focused on research skills, including bio-imaging, informatics, genomics, animal models, and clinical trials. In addition, all students receive wide-ranging and ongoing training in generic and transferable skills, such as scientific writing, data analysis, presentation, and critical appraisal via seminars. The degree may span 4 to 6 years and cost $28,000-30,000 per year, in the US.
