International students

Approximately 65 international students are accepted into the MBBS at Clayton Campus each year, offering international students a chance to study medicine at one of Australia's most respected and prestigious undergraduate medicine programs.

Admittance into the program is offered to international applicants on a full-fee basis.

International students who, during their course, become citizens or permanent residents of Australia (including New Zealand citizens) are not automatically guaranteed a place in the local quota. All such students are required to compete for a place in that quota. Recent increases in the number of international students make it unlikely that sufficient places will be available to allow students in this situation to continue in the course.

Prerequisites

International applicants must have satisfactorily completed a secondary qualification at least equivalent to the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). The prerequisites are the same as for the VCE outlined previously. Applicants must demonstrate a high level of academic achievement.

International applicants are required to undertake the International Student Admissions Test (ISAT). Please contact the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) regarding dates for sutting this test (isat@acer.edu.au ). ISAT will contribute towards the overall ranking for entry into the course. Short listed applicants will be required to attend an interview.

English Requirements

The faculty requires that students are proficient in both written and spoken English. The successful completion of the most recent subject comparable to Cambridge GCE 'O' level or results in a recognised English Test is required (ie IELTS = 7.0 or greater with no individual band less than 6.5).
