Applying for Undergraduate Medicine Australia + My Story - International Students

Hi Everyone! Here's another tool for your Inventory!
This video is part TWO of the conversation on different medical pathways in Australia, Sydney in particular, that are specific to International students! Part ONE discussed postgraduate medicine in Australia, with University of Sydney as an example, the link to that is here: • Medicine in Australia ...
This part covers undergraduate medicine in UNSW Sydney, and then a story-time on my Journey to Medical School, which was definitely not straightforward!
Timestamps for you to focus on what you want:
00:44 - UNSW Sydney's Undergraduate Medical stream
01:55 - The Lateral Entry Pathway (Myth-busting)

ABOUT ME:
I am Akshita, a third year medical student at UNSW Sydney! I am an international student, living off-campus in Sydney for about 3 years. I am still getting used to different cultures and learning to uphold my own amongst them. I like the idea of me being an emergency medicine physician :) Stick around this channel to see if I make it there!

    Hello,I am from Bangladesh. Is going to Australia after completing MBBS from Bangladesh will be better than doing MBBS in Australia financially and also considering other things.If I apply for MBBS, it has to be a University in Sydney. If you answer it will be very helpful.

I havent ever taken a loan, and Medicine had no scholarships for me at the time in 2018. That may have changed now, so be sure to always check the University websites thoroughly!

    Yes, but it is difficult because of changing timetables and high workload. The type of job you take matters. The friends of mine who have a job only do private tutoring for high school kids for their Australian exams, privately, one on one, so that it is flexible. Other jobs with shifts are very hard to keep

It may be helpful to contact the universities you specifically want to apply in, or talk to an agent or someone who has managed to make it into med school here with your education background. Best of luck!

    Hi Samadhi! I am assuming you mean without highschool marks in general? I think you can upload your latest academic transcripts (for the years just before your final year) and get a conditional offer, which will then be reassesed when you do finally submit your highschool marks. Usually if you have gotten the conditional offer, you end up getting an unconditional offer as well. If you meant without A levels specifically, I am sure that other education boards like IB, CBSE, etc are accepted in unis here, but you have to cross check thaton their websites because education from selected boards or curriculums are not accepted. Hope that helps!

    Hi Himanshi! It really depends on where you finish your bachelor's degree and what degree you do. Universities will have a set of criteria on which country's degrees are accepted/ how long ago have you done them/ what field it is in, etc. and if your undergraduate degree (bachelor's degree) satisfies the criteria, you will be eligible to apply for postgraduate MD pathway!

So that’s why I asked you if there are any options such that. In case of the application fee, I don’t think it will be around 6000AUD because it was 100AUD for Monash though they took more from me.
