Admissions
Entry Level
Graduate
Graduate entry courses are bachelor degree or Masters level courses that you can’t enter straight from school. You can only study them if you already have a degree. For medicine in Australia, and depending on the university, this degree can be either be in any field or must be a specific bachelors degree. Graduate entry medical degrees are shorter than undergraduate medical courses. The reason they’re shorter is that the university can assume that you’ve already developed the ability to learn effectively at university level and that you have an understanding of the basic sciences.
Entry Criteria
The selection into the course is based on your performance in the GAMSAT, academic marks, completion of the Alternative Entry Program application form and the outcome of an interview.
Applicants should also note that no direct entry applications for new students will be accepted by the Griffith School of Medicine and Dentistry.
