Enrolling in the Bachelor of Health Sciences

We know that enrolling in your Bachelor of Health Sciences can be confusing. You can use the information on this page to help you with enrolling into your courses for the whole year.

Enrolling is different depending on the reason why you want to enrol in the Bachelor of Health Sciences. The two main reasons to do so are to

• Apply for the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) and/or Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) the following year
• Complete the Bachelor of Health Sciences – Population Health

There is a section for both options on this page.

When enrolling, we recommend that you:

• Enrol in your courses for both Semester One and Two. This is to avoid missing out on a place in your courses
• Enrol in Semester One first, then enrol into Semester Two
• Enrol as soon as you accept your offer of place. This is to avoid missing out choosing a course time that best works for you

If you’re planning on applying for the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery and/or Bachelor of Pharmacy, you can use this information to enrol in your courses.

Please use Timetable Planner to enrol into your courses through cohort. You will use the ‘By cohort’ process to select your courses.

A cohort means that your courses are pre-selected by your faculty to make sure you have a clash-free timetable.
