Online application for Local and Rural Applicants for 2012 entry - opening May 2
Commencing this year, the application process for entry into the UNSW Medicine Program will be entirely online. The Medicine Application Form (questions on Life Experiences and Personal Motivation) which previously were completed on paper and posted to UNSW Medicine, will now be completed online.

Local and Rural Student Entry Scheme applicants will be able to apply from May 2 until September 30. In early October, UNSW Medicine will contact schools for predicted ATARs for applicants currently in Year 12.


21 January, 2011:

Frequently asked questions after Main Round offers from UAC (January 19):
    1. Will there be offers to UNSW Medicine in the Late Round?
    We will be making a number of offers in the Late Round. However, we anticipate that most or all of them will be made to interstate applicants who are being interviewed on January 25. (We are interviewing 50 applicants on that day.) Obviously, we do not know how many will be made offers. If there are still places available after those interviews, we will work down the ranked list from the Main Round of offers, and make whatever additional offers we need to make to fill the quota of places that the Australian Government has allocated to UNSW Medicine. However, we anticipate no more offers will need to be made.

    2. I received the code "I" for UNSW Medicine in the Main Round offers - what does that mean?
    It is the second part of the explanation for this code which refers to your situation, namely, that at this stage, you have not met the cutoff for offers. As you are aware, selection is based on the sum of your academic, UMAT and interview results, so the cutoff does not refer to any one component, but to the sum of the three. Please be assured that if you had an interview at UNSW, your application will still be considered when places are being offered in the Late Round.

    3. I was offered a bonded place in the Main Round. Is there any chance of it being upgraded to an unbonded place in the Late Round?
    As explained in point 1, there will be a number of offers in the Late Round, but we anticipate that most or all of the offers will be to interstate applicants who will be interviewed on January 25. If there are any unbonded places left, we will work down the ranked list and email applicants to offer the change to an unbonded place.

    4. Is it too late to be considered for a bonded place?
    Yes. The deadline for you to indicate that you would be prepared to accept a bonded place was in December.


16 September, 2010:

Local and Rural Applicants for 2011
Please ensure that by 30 September you have:
    • Lodged your Registration of Interest form on our website
    • Completed and posted your Medicine Application form to the Faculty
    • Submitted your application with Universities Admissions Centre - UAC code for UNSW Medicine is 428000

November Interviews
Interviews are being held for both local and rural applicants from November 18-25. Applicants will be advised at the end of October as to whether or not they are being offered an interview, and if so, will be given the opportunity to book an interview time online.




International Applicants



24 February 2011:

Online application for International Applicants for 2012 entry - opening March 2
Commencing this year, the application process for entry into the UNSW Medicine Program will be entirely online. The Medicine Application Form (questions on Life Experiences and Personal Motivation) which previously were completed on paper and posted to UNSW Medicine, will now be completed online. International applicants will be able to apply from March 1 until November 30.

For applicants in their final year of high school, after submitting your online application, an email will be automatically sent to your school requesting a prediction of your final high school results.

Applicants are also required to submit an application either through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) (students sitting an Australian HSC – see www.uac.edu.au) or through UNSW Admissions (all other applicants – see www.my.unsw.edu.au).


24 February, 2011:

Interviews for entry in 2012
Phone interviews are anticipated to commence in late March, and continue until November. At this stage, applicants with an actual or predicted HSC ATAR of 98 (or equivalent) or higher will be considered for an interview. This cutoff may fluctuate during the year, depending on the number of applicants and their academic results.


24 February, 2011:

UNSW Medicine staff visiting IDP Singapore
Senior academic and administrative staff from our Faculty will be attending the Singapore IDP Medicine and Health Sciences Open Days at the Orchard Hotel on March 5 & 6. They will be available to answer questions and discuss issues concerning admission and studying Medicine at UNSW.
