May deadlines

There are a number of deadlines in May - with this month being the time when graduates in particular need to get their applications submitted for some postgraduate medical schools.

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 ANU and UWA. It is important you check (see detailed information below) which specific student cohorts these end of May application deadlines are applicable as dates are changing. For example, Griffith’s close date for their Doctor of Medicine is now 21st August. Macquarie’s domestic close date is now 11th June.

The March GAMSAT sitting did not take place due to COVID-19 and therefore the late May result release will not occur.
