Application Process

The selection process for direct entry medicine at Clayton consists of three components; Year 12 (or equivalent) results, completion of the International Student Admissions Test (ISAT) and a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI). All three components are weighted equally.

International students should refer to the Medicine program admission requirements to confirm their eligibility before applying.

Key Dates - 2025 Entry

Please be aware that admissions timelines vary depending on the Year 12 (or equivalent) qualification you have completed; specifically those currently completing Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY), an Australian-based Year 12, or the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) in New Zealand. Please refer to the relevant key dates outlined below.

Main Round Applicants

Australian-based Year 12 or NCEA

Offers

Please note, conditional offers are not issued for this course and we do not consider incomplete, predicted, or provisional results. Offers will only be released once applicants have provided:

• evidence of successful completion of studies;
• official final high school transcripts;
• evidence of meeting the chemistry subject prerequisite; and,
• evidence of meeting the minimum English language requirement.

Fees

International applicants are admitted into the program on a full-fee basis. More information can be found on the course fees website.

Please note, CSPs are not available to students in this course whose residency status changes once they have commenced the course. Instead, you will be converted to a full-fee paying domestic place. Should you subsequently intend to defer payment of fees to FEE-HELP, please note that the classification of this program as an undergraduate course may affect the fees that you are required to pay. Please refer to the Study Assist website for more information.

Other Costs

Other expenses international students would expect to incur are overseas student health cover (OSHC), accommodation, transport and living expenses, plus textbooks and stationery. Read more about cost of living in Melbourne and other study costs.

Important Notes

• If you are a main round applicant completing your Year 12 (or equivalent) studies in 2024 and can only provide final, certified documentation in late-December 2024 or January 2025, you should consider applying for 2026 entry as places for the Medicine program may be filled by the time we can fully assess your application for an offer.
• International students who, during the application process, become citizens or permanent residents of Australia (including New Zealand citizens) will no longer be eligible for a full fee international place and will have their application terminated. Applicants who are applying for Australian Permanent Residency or Australian Citizenship must notify Faculty Admissions of any changes to their residential status immediately.
  • If you expect to change residency status during the selection and admissions process, you should complete the UCAT ANZ (required for domestic applicants) in addition to the ISAT. For more information, please visit the UCAT ANZ website.
• International students who become permanent residents and/or Australian citizens once they are enrolled in the course are not guaranteed a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP). Instead, they will be converted to a domestic full-fee place.
