Please note that applicants who will complete a bachelor degree by the end of their application year, or those who have already completed a bachelor degree, are not eligible to apply for the six-year medicine 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.

There will be approximately 140 Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) in undergraduate entry medicine and approximately 50 CSPs for dentistry.  Please see our website for information on the breakdown of the various sub quotas within these figures. 

All domestic applicants (other than Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders) are required to sit UMAT. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants should apply through the Centre for Aboriginal Medical and Dental Health (see www.camdh.uwa.edu.au for further details).  Indigenous applicants may also apply through the usual selection process of the faculty (i.e. UMAT, academic results and interview).

Up to 30 Medical places are available for international applicants.  International applicants should visit the UWA International Centre’s website at www.international.uwa.edu.au for admission requirements and deadlines. All International applicants must sit ISAT (see www.acer.edu.au/isat) not UMAT.

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://www.meddent.uwa.edu.au/admissions . 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 also required to submit academic and contact details directly 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 a transfer to the combined MBBS/BA after first semester of first year.

Note: The information above relates to 2011 entry to medicine and dentistry. It is likely that there will be no direct entry to undergraduate medicine or dentistry in 2012 and in the future.  Students aiming for entry to medicine and dentistry in subsequent years will complete a bachelor degree and then compete for a place in a new four-year Doctor of Medicine (MD) course (expected to be introduced in 2014) or a four year Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) course (expected to be introduced in 2013).
