What happens next
Selection for interview
Once your application has been assessed to see if you meet the minimum entry requirements, you'll receive correspondence via your QTAC account to let you know if you’ve been invited for a multiple mini-interview (MMI).
Applicants are selected for interviews based on their aggregate score from the first 4 sections of the UCAT ANZ. UQ does not consider annotations from the UCAT ANZ test in admissions decisions.
A minimum of 50% of domestic applicants invited to the MMI will be Queensland Year 12 students.
Interview and invitation dates
QTAC will email notifications of interview invites in mid to late October 2024. This may be in the form of a notification to check your application.
Interviews will be scheduled for the week beginning 18 November 2024.
Receiving your invitation
It's your responsibility to provide the correct email address and check all inboxes (including junk and spam folders).
If you experience any issues with your booking, you must contact the Faculty of Medicine during the booking window for assistance (med.enquiries@uq.edu.au).
We won't consider requests to accept late bookings for interviews unless there are exceptional circumstances. Interview times are subject to availability.
A lack of knowledge about the booking procedure, the associated timelines or not checking your junk mail folder are not considered to be circumstances beyond your control and would not meet the criteria for a late application to be considered.
Selection for offers
Following interviews, you'll be ranked for offer alongside the other applicants.
As you can preference the 2 streams of the MD provisional entry program separately, i.e. Commonwealth Supported Non-bonded Medical Place (QTAC code: 721302) and Commonwealth Supported Bonded Medical Place (QTAC code: 721402), you'll be ranked in merit order against each program stream. You will receive an offer to the highest preference for which you are competitive.
If you receive an offer, we’ll contact you and ask you to nominate your preferred undergraduate degree.
You can find more information about admission requirements, interviews, offer selection and deferment in the Admission to Coursework Procedure.
If you’re a Greater Brisbane provisional entry pathway applicant, the way you apply depends on where your high school studies are from.
