Medical students will reach a new level of maturity
I foresee many problems with this system:
1. As it is suggested that students will do a primary degree in science, followed by a degree in their chosen discipline medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy, etc they will not even qualify until their mid- to late-20s. They will then have to specialise, possibly reaching their 30s before finishing. This will put considerable social and financial strain on them and their families, particularly on those lower income individuals whom the Department of Education, allegedly, is attempting to encourage to pursue higher education.
