If you are a first-year MBBS student interested in this option you should consult the School of Medicine (enquiries@som.uq.edu.au) for more information. The BHlthSc/MBBS, BSc/MBBS and BA/MBBS programs are only available to students who have been offered a place in the Grade 12 subquota (MBBS Provisional Entry for School-Leavers). Students in this subquota will receive information on the dual degree options. Students wishing to undertake the BN/BMid dual degree must apply through QTAC. Students wishing to undertake the Bachelor of Human Movement Studies/Bachelor of Business Management must have completed year one of the BHumanMoveSt. Applications for this dual degree are made directly to the School of Human Movement Studies.

Interruption to studies
You must apply to your Head of School (or Program Director for BHlthSc) to interrupt your program of study. In some instances, the head of school may require an interview before and/or after interruption. Interruption is only granted for a maximum of 12 months but may be renewed in exceptional circumstances. Due to the structured nature of the undergraduate programs which prepare students for specific professions, interruption should only be contemplated for good reasons. Interruption approvals will appear as a noting on your Studies Report in mySI-net.
