To enter a graduate entry course (postgraduate course) you have to have a previous bachelor degree. Most universities don’t have a preference of what discipline the previous degree is in, only that it is completed and they will generally check your academic record (transcript) as well.

If you enrol as a graduate the university will usually look at
  • your performance in your bachelor degree including your GPA (Grade Point Average. Calculated by universities);
  • your performance in the Graduate Australian Medical Schools’ Admission Test (GAMSAT);
  • your performance in the interview.
GAMSAT – stands for the "Graduate Australian Medical School Admission Test". The GAMSAT is available to any student who has completed a Bachelor degree or who will be in the penultimate or final year of study for a Bachelor degree at the time of sitting the test. GAMSAT is designed to assess the capacity to undertake high level intellectual studies in a demanding course. The test is offered once a year only and is usually held around March.

For more info on the GAMSAT see http://www.gamsat.edu.au
