These differ between universities. We encourage all students to contact the admissions officer of each course they are interested in to find out the specific entry requirements. The contact details for university health science faculties can be found in the University Contacts information sheet on our free downloads page. For a general overview of admissions requirements, please download our university admissions information sheet from our free downloads page.

Note that all MedEntry packages include a comprehensive University Admissions Guide, with valuable information about the admissions process.

No! This is a myth. People who have done well in the UMAT and interviews have got into medicine with ENTER scores of 90 or lower!
