School leaver entry to Dentistry for domestic applicants

Domestic school leaver applications for UWA Dental Medicine are via TISC, and will open in line with TISC timelines, closing late September.

Entry into this course is a competitive process based on ATAR or equivalent, UCAT ANZ score and an interview process.

Successful applicants will receive a conditional place in the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). An school leaver place in the DMD is conditional upon successful completion of a UWA Bachelor of Biomedicine (Specialised) with the Integrated Dental Sciences major.

Minimum eligibility requirements

• Minimum ATAR 98 for Rural, Broadway and/or High Academic Achievers (HAA). Minimum ATAR 90 for applicants who are eligible for the Indigenous school leaver pathway (contact the School of Indigenous Studies for more information).
• UCAT ANZ score
• Interview
• English language competency

Graduate entry to Dentistry

To be considered for admission into the DMD, an applicant must have:

• a bachelor's degree, or an equivalent qualification, as recognised by UWA. Recognised bachelor’s degrees are those conferred by Australian universities or higher education institutions recognised by the Australian Qualifications Framework or the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR). While academic results from postgraduate study will be taken into account, postgraduate studies undertaken without a bachelor’s degree cannot be accepted as an equivalent qualification.
• the equivalent of selection Grade Point Average (sGPA) of at least 5.5, and
• a Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) overall score of at least 55 with no section score less than 50 for domestic applicants. International applicants submitting a GAMSAT score require a minimum overall score of 55 with no section under 50.
