Minimum Entry Requirements

International students interested in Graduate Entry Medicine at Monash must have completed a bachelor's degree from an internationally recognised university. The degree must consist of significant and broad biomedical science content (e.g. Pharmacology, Physiology, Immunology, Biochemistry, Microbiology or Genetics) to be eligible for consideration.

Applicants must achieve a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 6.0 out of 7.0 to be considered.

Please note, applicants can only be considered for entry twice. These applications do not have to be in consecutive years.

Important Notes

• Applications are assessed on an applicant's undergraduate degree only. Any further results, including graduate study or honours, are not taken into consideration. For those who have not yet completed their degree, the minimum GPA must be reached at the time of application.
• Applicants are not required to sit the Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) for this course. Applicants should be aware, however, that admission is highly competitive and we recommend that students consider alternative options for graduate entry medical courses including those where GAMSAT is a requirement.

Interviews

Monash uses a Multi Mini Interview (MMI) for the selection of students. The MMI consists of four sequential interview 'stations' focusing on an applicant’s:

• advocacy;
• collaboration;
• critical thinking;
• empathy;
• ethical reasoning;
• motivation; and,
• resilience.

The MMI consists of four sequential interview 'stations'. At each station, the applicant will have two minutes reading time with a scenario and will then be interviewed for eight minutes (i.e. ten minutes per station) with a 'circuit’ taking 50-60 minutes to complete, factoring in time for pre-briefing and debriefing sessions.

Applicants will be invited via email to participate in the MMI which will be conducted online via Zoom. There are only a limited number of interview places available and applicants will be ranked for an interview invitation based on their current or final undergraduate academic results.

Important Notes

• All applicants applying for this course are only allowed to attend the MMI once. Those who are re-applying for this course and have previously attended the MMI for this course are not eligible to attend the MMI again.
• Shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend an interview via email and will be required to log in to an online system to self-allocate a time to attend. Once the system closes, changes will not be permitted and late requests cannot be accommodated.

Inherent Requirements and Reasonable Adjustments

To meet the requirements of the Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine at Monash, you need to demonstrate that you have the abilities, knowledge, and skills to achieve specific core learning outcomes. These are called inherent requirements, and they are embedded in the course and unit learning outcomes. For more information, please visit https://www.monash.edu/study/courses/admissions-transparency/inherent-requirements-for-courses

Monash promotes access and equity for students who have a disability, ongoing medical or mental health condition by providing reasonable adjustments. Reasonable adjustments refer to measures or actions taken to enable students with disability to participate on the same basis as other students and reduce the impacts of their condition on their studies. If you have an approved reasonable adjustment, it is not an adjustment to the inherent requirements of the course but an adjustment to how you can fulfil the inherent requirements. If it is determined that inherent requirements cannot be met, even by implementing reasonable adjustments, we can provide guidance regarding other possible study options.

If you feel you may experience challenges meeting the inherent requirements of the course because of your disability, medical or mental health condition, please contact medicineadmissions@monash.edu for advice.
