Please note that applicants who will complete a bachelor degree by the end of the application year, or those who have already completed a bachelor degree, are not eligible to apply for the six year course and instead will need to apply for the UWA Graduate Entry Medical Programme (GEMP).  Applicants to the GEMP are required to sit GAMSAT instead of UMAT.

Undergraduate Entry Medicine Quotas (these quotas include BMP and MRBS places):
Approximately 115 Standard (School leaver) places
Approximately 15 Non-Standard (Non School leaver) places

Dentistry Quotas:
34 Standard places
16 Non-Standard places

The above quotas include the Rural and Indigenous sub quotas. Up to 25% of Medical places and up to 10% of Dental places may be allocated to applicants from a rural area. In addition, up to 8* Medical (including graduate entry) and up to 2* Dental places are available for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants. All domestic places are Commonwealth Supported Places (* quotas to be confirmed).

Up to 25 Medical places are available for international applicants.  International applicants should visit the UWA International Centre’s website for admission requirements and deadlines.

All domestic applicants (other than Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders; see below) are required to sit UMAT.

All International applicants must sit ISAT (see www.acer.edu.au/isat). For conditions and deadlines, please see the International Centre’s website.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants should apply through the Centre for Aboriginal and Dental Health (see www.camdh.uwa.edu.au for further details). Applicants may also apply through the usual selection process of the faculty (i.e. UMAT, academic results and interview).

Applicants are selected on the basis of

  • UMAT (or ISAT for international applicants);
  • Academic performance (TER for standard applicants, GPA for Non-Standard applicants); and
  • Interview.

    • For information on prerequisites, selection procedures, admission requirements and deadlines see the Faculty website: http://admissions.meddent.uwa.edu.au.

    All domestic applicants are required to apply through the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC) by the relevant deadline (please see www.tisc.edu.au for details).

    Non-standard applicants should be aware that they are required to submit academic and contact details to the Faculty by the relevant deadline. Please see the Faculty website for further details.

    Applicants admitted to the first year of the MBBS course are eligible to apply for transfer to the combined MBBS/BA after first semester of first year.

    Note: 25% of all domestic medical places are Bonded Medical Places (BMPs). UWA is allocated approximately 7 MRBS places per year across the entire domestic quota (undergraduate and graduate entry).
