Admission for International Applicants

Up to 20 places will be set aside annually for admission of International applicants i.e. applicants who are not Australian or New Zealand citizens or Australian permanent residents. Students will be required to pay the full cost of their medical training. A recent fee schedule can be found at http://fees.anu.edu.au/ISF/index.asp.

International applicants must take either the GAMSAT or the US Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). For the purposes of admission to graduate-entry medicine in Australia, MCAT scores are valid for two years.  eg. MCAT scores that will be accepted by Australian medical schools for 2009 entry are from the test period August 2006 to May 2008 inclusive. A minimum score of 8/8/8/M is required for those taking the MCAT. However, prospective students will be required to meet ANU requirements for English Language Tests if the language of instruction for their Bachelor degree was not English. Course credit will not be given for previous study.

    

International Applicants may lodge an application either

1) through the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) (for deadlines see http://www.acer.edu.au/) or

2) directly through the ANU Admissions Office by filling in the Undergraduate Application for International Students form at http://www.anu.edu.au/sas/forms/. Direct applications can be received at any time but those submitted after the second week in July are unlikely to be processed in time for admission to the following calendar year. Applications must be received by the end of the second week in July to be assessed for interview this year. Any change to this deadline will be released by news flash on this page.

Applicants MUST include their original transcripts and the date and results of their official MCAT, GAMSAT or equivalent test in English if they wish to be considered.
