Student life

More than a degree.

Best of both worlds

Get the chance to explore life in two continents. Groups such as the UQ Medical Society (UQMS) and the Ochsner Medical Student Association (OMSA) give you plenty of opportunities to make new friends and enrich your med school experience. We also provide student support options to make the move easier.

We believe in the value of work-life balance and in experiencing life holistically. Our students learn in lecture halls and hospital wards, and away from them as well. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
