What is UMAT?
UMAT is the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test which has been developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). The test is used to assist with the selection of students into the medicine, dentistry and health science degree programs at undergraduate level offered by the UMAT Consortium universities. UMAT can only be undertaken by students who are completing Year 12 studies in the current year, or who have completed Year 12 in previous years. The test is held each year by ACER in late July. Registration for UMAT opens in mid-April and closes at the beginning of June each year. All registration is taken on-line. A UMAT score is valid for two years. Applicants can obtain a copy of the UMAT Information booklet and details on the application procedures and registration from the following website.
