Entry Requirement

English Requirements

Other Requirements

International applicants, including those living or working in Australia, seeking entry to the course should apply direct to the university or via an agent and will be selected for interview based on previous academic performance. While there is no pre-determined grade point average (GPA) cut-off the approximate minimum GPA for consideration based on previous intakes is 6.0 on a 7 point scale. The actual cut-off may be higher depending on the pool of applicants in a given year.

International applicants studying their final year of school, including those studying in Australia, are required to provide school reports for the two final years of schooling.

The closing date for application is the last Friday in May with interview held by Skype in late June/early July.

The interview will be a panel interview and provides applicants the opportunity to demonstrate their communication skills and to further explore their motivation for undertaking a career in dentistry and their commitment to rural and regional dental practice.
