Bachelor of Biomedical Science
at The University of Notre Dame Australia, Western Australia.
Notre Dame's medical science degree is the three-year Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Fremantle (TISC ranks shown) and Sydney (75.35 through UAC in 2026). Notre Dame has no subject prerequisites; TISC lists recommended subjects only. Notre Dame also offers an assured pathway to medicine, where offers are not based on rank alone.
Lowest selection rank
The lowest selection rank (LSR) is the lowest ATAR plus adjustment factors (equity, subject and regional bonuses) that received an offer to the UNDA Bachelor of Biomedical Science for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.
| Intake | Lowest selection rank | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 70.50 | uac.edu.au |
| 2025 | 73.55 | uac.edu.au |
| 2024 | 71.00 | uac.edu.au |
A lowest selection rank describes a past intake, not a guaranteed entry score. Check the current entry requirements on the official course page before you apply through TISC.
