Western Sydney University: UCAT and entry requirements
| Uses UCAT ANZ | Required for medicine. [1] |
|---|---|
| How UCAT is used | UCAT sets the interview cut-off, with possible weighting of individual sections. The cut-off is not published; Greater Western Sydney applicants may have a lower cut-off. Offers use 25% UCAT and 75% interview after the academic threshold is met. [1][2] |
| Interview | MMI on Zoom for domestic General and Rural Entry applicants, one interviewer per station, about 8 minutes to respond. [1] |
| Other selection requirements | ATAR 95.5 for non-GWS applicants, 93.5 for GWS, or 91.5 for Rural Entry. GWS requires five consecutive years living in a GWS postcode immediately before starting. The academic threshold is checked only for applicants who sat the MMI. [1][2] |
| Pathways | Greater Western Sydney and Rural Entry. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants have a structured panel of four: the Dean, the Professor of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health, an academic and a community member, in early November. [1][2] |
| Application code | UAC 725505: Bachelor of Clinical Science (Medicine) / Doctor of Medicine. [3] |
| 2027 entry dates | UAC opened 8 April and closed 30 September 2026. Rural Entry Community Member Confirmation Forms were due 30 September. The dates page says invitations at the end of October; the FAQ says by mid-October. MMIs: late November. Offers: from January Round 1, 8 January 2027. [4][2] |
What this means for your UCAT prep
UCAT matters for an interview invitation and the final offer. Give interview prep time too, because the interview makes up 75% of the final selection score.
