If you are considering university applications or entrance for Medicine, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy or Optometry at either Australian or New Zealand Universities then in most cases the UMAT must be considered as an integral part of your preparation and planning.

Established in 1999 the National Institute of Education (NIE) conducts UMAT Preparation Courses aimed at developing the skills and strategies required to improve your UMAT score, and is the ONLY UMAT training provider to have Governmental Department of Education funding.

UMAT is no different to any other test, assessment or performance. In many cases, preparing for UMAT has proven to be the deciding factor in successfully being offered an interview. For future medicine hopefuls the UMAT exam may be the toughest and most important exam of their lives - be prepared!

We offer four courses across Austrailia and New Zealand which include our 8 manual package containing thousands of questions and explanations, tips, tricks, and study methods, a teacher for each section of the UMAT (all having sat the UMAT themselves), 24 Hour on-going support, all new UMAT relevant questions each year, and for the Premium, Platinum and Concession courses, an intensive one day workshop which includes a trial UMAT exam under strict UMAT conditions.

The UMAT exam favours intelligence types, not intelligent people or even empathetic people. The whole process is unfair and unreasonable. Hence NIE has no ethical qualms in giving it’s students an unfair advantage.
