Lateral Entry

In all cases students are required to complete an internal transfer form for submission to the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Services.

Transfer from first year BSc to BBNSc

First year BSc. students must have a credit average overall and have completed the following units with at least a distinction average:

CHM1011 or CHM1022 (or CHM1031 plus CHM1042) to gain credit for first year BMS1011

BIO1011 or BIO1022 to gain credit for first year BMS1021

PSY1011 and PSY1022

Hurdle Requirement for transfers from BSc to BBNSc.

Students who have met the above criteria must undertake PHY2011 in the first semester following their transfer in order to gain credit for BMS1052. BMS1052 is an essential prerequisite for most 2nd and 3rd year BBNSc core units. Students will also be required to undertake BNS1072 and BMS1062 during the second semester. Students should note that overloading is not encouraged, and therefore successful lateral transfer students will normally take slightly longer than normal to complete all units required to graduate from the BBNSc degree.

Transfer from BMS to BBNSc.

To be eligible to transfer, students will be required to have a credit average overall in first year and at least a distinction average in the following BMS units: BMS1011, BMS1021, BMS1052, BMS1062.

Students who have not completed BNS1072, PSY1011 and PSY1022 will be required to complete these core units in the first year following transfer into the degree, but they will receive credit for BMS1011, BMS1021, BMS1052 and BMS1062.

Transfer from Medicine to BBNSc.

Students who apply to transfer from Medicine to BBNSc will be considered on a case by case basis.

Transfer from another University

Subject to review by the principal coordinator based on individual merits.

Enrolling in individual BNS units

If students enrolled in other degrees wish to enrol in individual BNS units, in either second or third year, they must have gained at least a credit in either BMS1052 or PHY2011. BNS1072 - Foundations of Behavioural Neuroscience is open to students outside the BBNSc degree but must be approved by their Course Coordinator.
