Medicine & Dentistry Universities
The table below is designed to guide Year 12 school leavers by providing the list of universities that offer an undergraduate degree or a pathway into medicine and dentistry degrees. We would like to point out that there are additional universities that are not included in this list as their medical programs are more focused on graduate applicants (postgraduate degree pathways). Hence, you may need to do further research to find out about those universities.
Apart from your ATAR, entry requirements for undergraduate medical degrees may also include the UCAT score, interview score, CASPER score, and a written application. Some universities also have different entry requirements for Indigenous students and students from rural backgrounds. For the most up-to-date information, it is advisable to consult the individual university websites.
