MEDENTRY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UCAT<\/a> (University Clinical Aptitude Test) is required for entry into most medicine and dentistry courses across Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who wish to enter such courses will need to sit the UCAT in July-August 2026. Year 11 students who are interested in medicine have under one year before their test. The best way to prepare for the UCAT is via distributed practice over several months. Medentry will be hosting a live seminar at UTS<\/a> to guide students, parents and teachers through the journey into medicine. For those unable to attend in person we also run free online webinars<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
