Minimum academic time medicine graduate category

G made this Official Information request to University of Otago

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for G to read a recent response and update the status.

From: G

Dear University of Otago,
Please clarify the meaning of completing a degree in the 'minimum academic time' for the graduate pathway into medicine. Please refer to the following example: A student who has completed the health science first-year programme and is pursuing a double major degree. There are three 300-level papers in the first semester of the third year and five 300-level papers in the second semester that the student wants to take to complete this double major degree. All of the 300-level papers require 200-level requisites. None of the desired 300-level papers can be taken in the second year as the 300-level papers with a semester 1 200-level paper prerequisites are also semester 1 papers. Would the student have to take the five 300-level papers in the second semester of the last year or would they be able to take one of them in a fourth year and still have completed the degree in the 'minimum academic time'? If so, would this paper in the fourth year be allowed to be alongside other papers?

Yours faithfully,
Charlotte
