Medicine, Dentistry & Podiatric Medicine 2015
Medicine is offered at UWA and Notre Dame as a graduate-entry study option only and dentistry and podiatric medicine is offered as a graduate-entry study at UWA. This means that there is no longer a requirement for students to sit the UMAT (Undergraduate Medical Admission Test) as following the completion of an undergraduate degree, students who are intending to complete graduate studies in either medicine, podiatric medicine or dentistry will be required to sit the GAMSAT (Graduate Medical School Admission Test).
However, UWA offers limited assured entry places to highly qualified school-leaving (Year 12) students when they commence at UWA. To secure one of these places, a student must sit the UMAT, attend the structured interview, achieve a 99+ ATAR and complete an undergraduate degree with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.5 (approx. 65%).
Students who are intending to study medicine or dentistry at an interstate university (except University of Melbourne) are still required to sit the UMAT to gain entry into undergraduate medicine or dentistry.
UMAT applications closing date: Friday 6 June 2014
UMAT date: Wednesday 30 July 2014
Mr Frusher has recently distributed to interested students, information regarding the UMAT. Any students who were unable to attend this meeting and parents who may have further questions are asked to contact Mr Frusher at Scotch. For more information please see http://umat.acer.edu.au/.
