UMAT 2018
Thinking of studying medicine, dentistry or health sciences? You need to know about UMAT.
UMAT stands for the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test. It’s a test that’s designed to help select students for undergraduate medicine and health science programs for participating universities.
If you’re in your final year of secondary school and want to enter a medicine or health science degree next year then you need to sit UMAT in 2018. It’s only held once a year. In 2018 it will be held on Wednesday 25 July.
Which universities need a UMAT score?
Victoria
La Trobe University
Health Sciences in Dentistry/Master of Dentistry† Oral Health Science†
Monash University
Medicine
It’s an aptitude test. It’s designed to test your attributes and abilities, specifically in
- critical thinking and problem solving
- understanding people
- abstract non-verbal reasoning
They test for these skills because they’re considered highly important for the study and practice of medicine and health sciences. It’s not based on the curriculum you study at school, and doesn’t require any knowledge or skills in maths, sciences, or any other area. They simply use these results, in combination with other selection criteria, to determine successful candidates for the specified medical and health science degrees.
You can find out more about the structure of the test, and the registration procedure in their downloadable Guide
UMAT Test Centres for 2018
In 2018 test centres will be offered in Bendigo, Geelong, Melbourne, Mildura, Sale and Shepparton.
