Provisional Entry for School Leavers pathway

For domestic school leavers who complete Year 12 in 2013, 150 Commonwealth Supported Places are available for the 2014 intake.

Selection for entry will be based on:

• Performance in UMAT;
• Attainment of Queensland OP1 (or equivalent).

Students who receive an offer for the Provisional Entry scheme may choose to enrol in any of The University of Queensland’s Bachelor programs.**  All offers are provisional and require students to achieve a minimum grade point average of 5.00 prior to entering the medical program. Applications must be lodged with the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) by 27 September 2013. Please refer to the ACER website for additional information.

Once students have received an offer they will be required to enrol in a Bachelor program that they meet the prerequisites for as their first degree e.g. Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Health Sciences.  Due to proposed amendments to The University of Queensland’s medical program,* International students studying Year 12 in Australia are requested to visit the ACER website for updates on their eligibility to access the Provisional Entry for School Leavers Scheme.

For further information refer to the School’s website: www.som.uq.edu.au

* The University of Queensland has commenced consideration of implementing a masters level, Doctor of Medicine program (MD – allowing the title Doctor of Medicine) in place of the current Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program, from 2015. Please refer to the University’s MD website for more information regarding this possible program change: http://www.som.uq.edu.au/about/organisation/doctor-of-medicine-degree-(md)-at-uq.aspx

** Please be aware that entry to a Masters of Medicine (MD) program may involve prerequisite courses (e.g. anatomy, physiology and biochemistry) for study prior to an MD. Students are urged to consider a choice of first degree that is likely to cover ’pre-medical’ material, that will assist with their medical program studies (i.e. Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Health Sciences programs would be recommended).
