The University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT ANZ) is a computer-based admissions test required to be taken by all domestic Health Science First Year (HSFY) students and Graduate category applicants considering applying for Medicine.
A UCAT ANZ score is not required for applications to Medicine through the Alternative category or by international students in any category of admission.
- If you are a domestic applicant, you must have a UCAT ANZ result obtained in the year of your application and have achieved a score in all five of the UCAT sections at a threshold level determined annually by the Medical Admissions Committee
- If you reapply for Medicine in a later year, you will need to retake the UCAT ANZ in the year of your application. It is not possible to use a UCAT score from a previous year
As UCAT ANZ is run by Pearson (not the University of Otago) you will need to register directly through the UCAT ANZ website
If there are any issues with your registration, contact UCAT ANZ.
If you require disability support, contact UCAT ANZ directly in advance of your test to ensure appropriate arrangements are in place.
