The first hurdle is completing an undergraduate degree (Bachelor/Honours).

It doesn't matter what the degree is - Engineering, Arts, etc. They say the degree proves you can successfully cope with studying at university level.

The different schools have varying requirements regarding performance in your first (or last completed) undergraduate course.

Check out the requirements at each by following the university links.

Details regarding Bachelor Degree requirements are given in the ACER Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Guide

To assess your undergraduate performance all of the uni's use something called a GPA. Basically, it is an average calculated from your subject marks on a scale from 0-7, however, it is calculated in a variety of ways for each of the uni's. So the best thing is to check the method in the ACER admissions guidebook or from ACER's website

What GPA do you need?

• ANU - minimum of 5.0
• Flinders - no minimum is set but the score is a component of the entry score for admission (33%).
• Queensland - minimum of 4.5 (was 4.0 for admissions prior to 2003)
• Sydney - minimum of 5.5
• Melbourne - minimum of 5.5
• Wollongong - minimum of 5.0

There are also some restrictions on up to how long ago the course had to be completed: you had to have completed your degree within the last 10 years counting from the year of admission (not from the year when you sat GAMSAT). This applies to Melbourne, Queensland and Sydney, however a postgraduate course or other academic activity may exempt you from this requirement. Check out the ACER guide book above, you can also check with the universities directly.
