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 UniSQ's own pages before you apply.
Courses
- Bachelor of Medical Science (Medicine Pathway), three years full time at Toowoomba, then the University of Queensland's Doctor of Medicine delivered in Toowoomba.
How UniSQ uses the UCAT
- The UCAT is required. Applicants are shortlisted for interview from their UCAT scores, and the minimum depends on the field and the number of places.
Published scores and cut-offs
- 2026 intake: median ATAR of 95.50 before adjustments.
Cut-offs are the result of each year's field, not a target set in advance. They move from year to year. Scores and percentiles shows where a total sits among all candidates.
School results and subjects
- A minimum adjusted ATAR of 95.00.
- English, and one of General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods or Specialist Mathematics. A science is recommended.
- You must be completing Year 12 for the first time in the year you apply.
The interview
- A multiple mini interview in mid to late November.
How to apply
- Apply through QTAC.
- For 2027 entry, applications ran from 4 August to 30 September 2026, with offers from 14 January 2027.
The UCAT is booked separately from your university application, months earlier. See the UCAT dates and fees.
Places
- Limited by quota. The number is not stated.
Rural, Indigenous and other entry pathways
- First Nations Admission Pathway.
- Bonded Medical Program.
Also worth knowing
- A grade point average of 5.0 is needed to move into the Doctor of Medicine.
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.
