UCAT and Universities
Which universities in Australia and New Zealand require UCAT for 2025 Medical / Dental Entry?
The UCAT ANZ is a compulsory entry requirement for our Australia and New Zealand Consortium universities. You are required to sit the UCAT ANZ 2024 test (between 1 July and 9 August 2024) if you are intending to apply for entry in 2025 to a relevant course or programme listed below. UCAT ANZ results cannot be carried over from one year to the next. For example, results from UCAT ANZ 2024 can only be used to apply for courses commencing in 2025.
Some pathways to medicine/dentistry/clinical sciences will not require the UCAT ANZ, or might have additional requirements. For example Casper Test is an extra requirement in addition to UCAT for Curtin University (medicine). Or Psychometric Test is used instead of the UCAT for entry into Bond University (medicine). For some applicants, a different test may be required. For example, international students might need to sit ISAT instead of UCAT. And some universities might accept UCAT instead of ISAT when applying to medical schools as an international student. Students should always check the entry requirements for each university and course they are intending to apply for.
There are no general exemptions from the test.
