Services and resources offered by NIE to assist with Monash University entry requirements into relevant medical courses

UCAT - You will need to sit the UCAT and achieve a competitive score. NIE works in partnership with Kaplan who is the world leader in UCAT preparation resources.

Monash University Medical Interview - Selection for Monash Medicine Multiple Mini interviews (MMI) is based on a combination of an applicant's UCAT and ATAR scores. The cut-off score is determined by the distribution of scores each year and therefore changes depending on each cohort. Over the past 24 years, NIE has helped thousands of successful applicants to become better prepared for their medical and dental admission interviews. We offer a range of intensive and highly effective interview preparation programs for which you can enroll now. Contact us to see how we can help you achieve success at your medical interviews.

A word of caution from NIE! 

Monash University allows very little time between the time students are invited for interviews and the actual dates of the interview. The timeframe is especially tight for interstate and NZ applicants. Therefore NIE highly advises that you do not wait around until you have received an interview before you start your preparation. Prepare early and avoid unnecessary risks. Also, remember that Monash will interview you only ONCE. Meaning that if you underperform at your interview, your future chances of getting into Monash medicine will be also be undermined. 


Important: Following information has been adapted from Monash University's website on September 2023. We highly recommend that you visit Monash University Medical School Page for the most up-to-date and more comprehensive information about their programs.

Entry requirements

ATAR: Makes up 1/3rd of the total admission score
ATAR requirement is listed as 90+, but non-rural applicants should realistically aim for at least 95+

Recommended studies: Biology

UCAT: All domestic applicants must complete the University Clinical Aptitude Test for Australia and New Zealand (UCAT ANZ). UCAT ANZ results contribute toward the overall ranking for entry into the course. The indicative UCAT ANZ score to be considered for interview is 3000. Please note, this indicative UCAT ANZ score would not apply to a Dean's Rural List applicant. The indicative UCAT ANZ score to be considered for interview for a Dean's Rural List applicant is 2700.

Candidates intending to apply for entry into the direct entry medicine course in 2024 must take the UCAT ANZ in 2023. UCAT ANZ testing will be held between 03 July and 11 August 2023. The timely registration deadline is 17 May 2023, but late bookings are open through 5 June 2023.

Interview: Makes up 1/3rd of the total admission score
Monash uses the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) for the selection of students. MMI Stations comprise a series of scenarios and associated questions focusing on an applicant’s:

  • advocacy
  • collaboration
  • critical thinking
  • empathy
  • ethical reasoning
  • motivation



The MMI consists of eight sequential interview 'stations'. At each station, the applicant will be interviewed for eight minutes followed by two minutes for scoring and changeover (ie ten minutes per station) with a 'circuit’ taking 90-100 minutes to complete.

Applicants will be invited (via email) to attend the MMI which, depending on government restrictions at the time, will be either face to face or online. Only a set number of applicants will be invited for an interview and this selection will be based on a ranking of their UCAT and aggregate score. Only those applicants who attend an interview will remain in the final ranked list to be eligible for a place. All applicants applying for this course are only allowed to attend the interview once. Those who are re-applying for this course and have previously attended the interview for this course are not required to attend the interview again.
