Admissions tests

For most medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine/science courses you will be required to take an admissions test. Please check the Entry Profiles for your chosen course(s) on Course Search, contact your chosen universities and colleges or check their websites.

More information and links to further details can be found on the admissions tests page.

Interviews

You will normally be interviewed by the university or college before they decide whether to offer you a place or not. If they want to invite you for an interview, this will usually be displayed in Track. You can accept the invitation in Track, or if you are unable to attend, you can request that the university or college offer you a different date.
