Medical schools in Tasmania and the ACT
Tasmania and the ACT each host a single medical school with very different profiles. The University of Tasmania runs a 5-year undergraduate MBBS based in Hobart, selecting on UCAT-ANZ and ATAR (~95.00) — interview is historically not used, with portfolio + ranking determining offers. The Australian National University in Canberra runs a research-intensive 4-year graduate MChD (GAMSAT, MMI, ~110 places) with a distinctive Rural Clinical School and one of the highest median GAMSAT cut-offs in Australia. Both schools serve significant regional and rural workforce mandates.
Tasmania
Hobart
Tasmania delivers the only medical program in the state — a 5-year undergraduate Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (BMedScMD) anchored at the Sandy Bay (Hobart) campus with placements across Royal Hobart Hospital, Launceston General Hospital, and the North West Regional Hospital (Burnie), distinguished by Tasmania's sole medical pipeline and a deliberate no-interview "ATAR-first, UCAT tiebreaker" selection model.
ANU
Canberra
ANU delivers a research-intensive 4-year graduate Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (MChD) anchored at Canberra Hospital and with an extensive Rural Clinical School footprint across Goulburn, Cooma, Bega, and Eurobodalla, distinguished by mandatory research integration and ANU's broader research culture.
