Careers
A degree in medicine is your pathway to multiple career opportunities, including specialist clinical practice, primary care medicine, medical research and medical education.
By graduating from a relevant undergraduate degree with a GPA of 5.0, you will be fully prepared to commence studies towards a degree in medicine (subject to performance in UMAT and GAMSAT interview requirements).
You may also choose to enrol in one of Griffith's postgraduate coursework masters programs, that provide professional training for careers such as clinical biochemist, clinical physiologist, clinical microbiologist, genetic counsellor, forensic scientist, dietician or biomedical research scientist. The linking of these professional training programs with the undergraduate degree is unique to Griffith University and provides excellent career outcomes.
As a Medical student, you should be aware that in addition to discipline-related content and skills, you are acquiring other skills that are highly valued by employers. These skills, known as “generic” skills are sometimes referred to as “transferable”, as they can be transferred from one environment to another (learning to the workplace, part-time to professional work).
