Strategic and determined students start their UCAT preparation early!
Considering a Career in Medicine or Dentistry?
If you are considering a career in medicine or dentistry, you will need to sit a compulsory entry exam known as the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) before you can apply for relevant placements in the aforementioned fields of study within the most universities.
The very first time you can sit the UCAT is in Year 12 (in Australia) or Year 13 (in New Zealand).
Please note, that some pathways into medicine, dentistry, and clinical sciences may not require the UCAT ANZ. For details candidates should refer to the websites of the universities to which they intend to apply.
Universities and the UCAT Requirements
Sitting UCAT this year? Consistent exam preparation is highly recommended. Make sure you are constantly practising UCAT-style questions, drills, and practice test. If you have not started your UCAT preparation yet, we recommend either an Advanced or Comprehensive Course.
In Year 10 or 11? Make sure you do your research early. Find out what is required for medical entry in Australia and New Zealand. Give UCAT NIE a call on 1300 974 187 and speak to one of our knowledgeable NIE teachers about UCAT, medical interviews, career in health, or pathways into medicine and dentistry.
