Frequently Asked Questions
For February/March start (most Australian programs): Applications open July–September of the previous year. UCAT ANZ must be taken in July–August the year before intended entry. Start UCAT preparation 6+ months before the test date.
Unlike UK (UCAS limit of 4), Australia has no centralised limit. Apply to as many universities as feasible — typically 4–6 programs. Each requires UCAT ANZ (same score used for multiple applications), separate personal statements, and application fees (~AUD 100 each).
