UCAT ANZ is an admissions test used by many universities in Australia and New Zealand for entry into medical, dental and some clinical science degrees.

It helps universities assess the skills and professional behaviours needed for success in clinical careers and is used alongside academic results and interviews. The test is computer-based and delivered at Pearson test centres in Australia, New Zealand and internationally. More information can be found here.

Note: Not all pathways require UCAT ANZ – students should check individual university requirements.
