    Entry requirements

    Standard entry

    1. Undergraduate degree

    First you must meet the entry requirements for your undergraduate degree.

    2. Graduate degree

    The Doctor of Medicine also has specific prerequisite and grade entry requirements to be considered for entry, including completion of an undergraduate degree in science or biomedicine with prerequisite subjects in anatomy, biochemistry and physiology at a second year level.

    Applicants applying for standard entry must also complete the Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) and a Multi Mini Interview.

    As of the 2022 intake, applicants will not be required to complete prerequisite subjects for the Doctor of Medicine. Applicants for the 2021 intake are still required to complete these prerequisites.

    These changes are in lieu with the proposed updates to the curriculum.
