May deadlines

There is a plethora of deadlines in May - with this month being the time when graduates in particular need to get their applications submitted for postgraduate medical schools. The beginning of May heralds the deadline for applicants to the University of Melbourne to submit requests for prerequisite assessments. The 4th May is the deadline for concession and access arrangements for UCAT - though note there is a discrepancy in the specific deadline time between information provided by UCAT and by UAC.

A key date for undergraduate/direct medicine entry applicants is the 11th May which marks the final booking deadline for UCAT. If you miss this deadline there is one further opportunity to book which is the late booking (and cancellation) deadline on the 18th May.

Deadlines at the end of May include Monash’s deadline that applies to a range of international students. Monash stipulate these applicants are required to sit ISAT by the 24th May. There are 3 ISAT testing cycles ie

  • Cycle 1: May 16- May 24 2020

  • Cycle 2: August 15- August 23 2020

  • Cycle 3: November 21- November 29 2020

Monash’s deadline therefore requires these international applicants to have sat ISAT no later than Cycle 1.

ANU have implemented a single combined admission, scholarships and accommodation application process. For students wanting to commence undergraduate studies at ANU as a precursor to postgraduate medicine the deadline for admission, scholarships and accommodation closes on 25th May.

The end of May represents the deadline for applications to postgraduate medicine for a number of Universities - including Macquarie, Griffith, ANU and UWA. It is important you check (see detailed information below) which specific students cohorts these end of May application deadlines are applicable.
