The graduate-entry programs provide opportunities for medical, dental,  pharmacy and optometry training to a wide range of graduates who have made a mature decision to commit to a demanding profession. 

All applicants must have completed, or be in the final year of a Bachelor degree.  No preference is given to graduates with particular Bachelor degrees.

It should be emphasised that a science major is not a prerequisite, and that academic excellence in other areas, such as the humanities and social sciences, is encouraged and recognised. The aim is to encourage individuals from diverse educational backgrounds who will bring to the profession a variety of talents and interests.

No specific courses or subjects are prescribed. Exception: Selection for the University of Melbourne is also based on satisfactory completion of approved science subjects. Details are available on their website www.unimelb.edu.au.

The Grade Point Average indicates the level of performance in the chosen degree. There is no differentiation of GPA between institutions or courses. There is no preference or advanced standing offered to applicants with particular first degrees. The programs are open to graduates of any field who are able to meet the selection criteria.

All applicants must have completed, or be in the final year of a Bachelor degree. Australian degrees must be from a Commonwealth accredited institution. For those in the final year of study, satisfactory completion of the degree will be a condition for entry. Applicants enrolled in a two-year degree or one-year conversion degree may only apply after completion of the degree.

Those who have a higher degree without completion of a Bachelor degree need to consult their preferred school about their eligibility.

Applications for the medical, pharmacy and dental programs open in early May 2010.
