What other courses require the UCAT ANZ and how important is it?

The table below summarises which non-medical courses in Australian and New Zealand require you to provide a UCAT ANZ score as part of the admissions process and how the score is used for invitation to the interview and final selection.

| Course | UCAT ANZ required for interview invitation? | UCAT ANZ required for final selection? |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adelaide University - Dental Surgery | Used to select for interview (100%) | Used in final selection (20%) |
| Adelaide University - Oral Health | Used to select for interview (100%) | Used in final selection (20%) |
| Charles Sturt - Dental Science | Used to select for interview (100%) | Not used in final selection |
| Griffith - Dental Health Science | Used to select for interview (100%) | Used in final selection |
| University of Queensland - Dental Science | No interview | Used in final selection (second ranking level) |
| University of Western Australia - Dental Medicine | Used to select for interview | Used in final selection (15%)

* Percentage values are not specified in the bracket when the exact weighting is unknown. For invitation to the interview, it is assumed that academic requirements (pre-requisite subjects and minimum ATAR) have been met.

You should note that UCAT ANZ scores are only valid for the year, meaning that all applicants are required to take the UCAT ANZ in the year of application.

While not all universities offering dentistry and/or oral health require the UCAT ANZ, you can see that preparing for the UCAT ANZ opens up doors for a number of non-medical courses, and the majority of medical courses, in Australia and New Zealand.

After you sit the UCAT ANZ, you should think more tactically. If your UCAT ANZ score is not so great, look for the courses that place less emphasis on the UCAT ANZ or do not require it at all.

On the other hand, if you have a high UCAT ANZ score, maximise your chance of success by applying to courses that value it highly.

Good luck!
