Applying for 2028 entry?
This page sets out the rules for entry in 2027, which used the 2026 test. Universities usually publish the next year's rules in the first half of the year. Most carry over with small changes, so this is a sound guide to what to expect, but read Curtin's own pages before you apply.
Courses
- Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, five years full time at Curtin Perth.
How Curtin uses the UCAT
- The UCAT must be sat in the year you apply. Ranking uses the total of the cognitive subtests, and there is no minimum.
- Interview invitations: academic merit, Casper and UCAT in the ratio 35 : 35 : 30.
- Final offers: ATAR, UCAT and interview in the ratio 40 : 20 : 40.

- An equity pathway for school leavers from eligible Western Australian schools.

International applicants
- International applicants sit both the UCAT ANZ and Casper.
Also worth knowing

What this means for your preparation
Whatever the weighting, a higher UCAT total widens your options, because most applicants apply to more than one university. Start with the twelve-week plan, and try the free practice questions to see where you stand.
