Undergraduate means no previous (relevant) qualification and is the course you can enter straight from high school or without any other previous bachelor degree or qualification.

If you enrol as an undergraduate the university will usually look at

• your tertiary entrance score;
• your result in the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Science Admission Test (UMAT);
• your performance in an interview.

UMAT – stands for the "Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test". This is the test most people need to sit if they want to enter medicine straight out of high school or when they apply for an undergraduate medicine course. The test is developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) on behalf of the UMAT Consortium universities. The test is used specifically to assist with the selection of students into the medicine, dentistry and health science degree programs at undergraduate level.
