The joint degree option is a sub-plan of the Bachelor of Medical Science programs offered at the Australian National University (ANU) and University of South Australia (UniSA). Students who meet the requirements are able to undertake a year of their degree at the partner university via cross-institutional enrolment. Students receive a joint degree with the crest of both universities on their testamur.

The joint degree option offers students from both universities access to a wider range of courses in medical and in allied health areas. Depending on the courses undertaken, for ANU students this can lead to entry to postgraduate physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietetics, or accelerated completion of a B Med Sci/B Pharmacy at UniSA, and for UniSA students it can lead to medicine or research opportunities at the ANU.
