Ask Flinders

Can I enter the medical program straight from Year 12? keyboard_arrow_up

Yes. If you’ve completed Year 12, you can apply for the combined Bachelor of Clinical Sciences / Doctor of Medicine (MD) pathway in South Australia or the Northern Territory. This pathway allows you to complete both degrees in just six years, without needing a separate undergraduate degree first. 

To progress from the Bachelor of Clinical Sciences into the MD, you must achieve a minimum GPA of 5. In the Northern Territory, there are 12 places available each year for the Bachelor of Clinical Sciences at Charles Darwin University, with the MD delivered by Flinders University. Applicants must also demonstrate eligibility for NT origin status.

This pathway provides a clear, streamlined route into medicine for school leavers, combining academic, clinical, and professional training to prepare you for hospital placements, practical experience, and ultimately, registration as a medical practitioner. 

Do I need to complete the University Clinical Aptitude Test to apply? keyboard_arrow_up

Yes. Alongside obtaining an ATAR, applicants must also complete the University Clinical Aptitude Test for Australia and New Zealand (UCAT ANZ). Final ranking for a place is determined by combining scores from the applicant's Year 12 subject results that are used to calculate the ATAR (or equivalent) and their UCAT ANZ results. 

It is expected that applicants will need to achieve an ATAR of 95 or above (after the addition of any relevant adjustment factors) to be competitive for a place. Ranking for offers of places will be based on a rank combining Year 12 subject results (90%) and a UCAT ANZ-derived score (10%), which will be based on the four sections of the test (Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Situational Judgment).

How long does the degree take to complete? keyboard_arrow_up

The Bachelor of Clinical Sciences / Doctor of Medicine is a six-year combined program, with the first two years focused on clinical sciences and the final four years on medical training.

What kind of practical experience will I get during the degree? keyboard_arrow_up

You’ll take part in practicals, workshops, and team-based learning from your first year, developing skills in the Clinical Skills and Simulation Unit. As a medical student, you’ll work with tutors, patients, and practising clinicians, and complete extensive clinical placements in hospitals and community settings.

What career pathways can this degree lead to? keyboard_arrow_up

After graduation, you’ll complete a one-year hospital internship to qualify for registration with the Medical Board of Australia. From there, you can pursue specialist training in areas like surgery, paediatrics, cardiology or general practice. You may also build a career in research, public health, global health, or health administration, making an impact both locally and internationally.

Rural and remote sub-quotas keyboard_arrow_up

Increase your chances of studying at Flinders as a rural and remote resident.

An annual sub quota is available for applicants from rural and remote areas. To be considered for the rural and remote subquota you must submit a Statutory Declaration to SATAC within 10 working days of your application confirming you’ve lived in a non-metropolitan area of Australia (Remoteness Classifications RA2–RA5) for:

* At least 5 consecutive years, or

* 10 cumulative years, from birth (i.e. during any period of your life)

Eligibility is based on your primary residential address.

Applicants can check their eligibility in accordance with the definition above using the Australian Government's Health Workforce Locator. Enter the address you wish to search for using the 'ASGS Remoteness Area' '2021'. As part of a transition year for 2026 entry, applicants can also be assessed against the ‘ASGS Remoteness Area’ ‘2016’ if not eligible under the 2021 layer. For 2027 entry, applicants will only be assessed using the 'ASGS Remoteness Area' '2021' layer.

If you are unable to provide a document signed under Common Seal you may provide a Statutory Declaration to SATAC confirming you are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Island descent.
