How many medical schools are there in Victoria?

Three: the University of Melbourne, Monash University (Clayton undergraduate plus Churchill/Malaysia graduate pathways), and Deakin University at Geelong.

Does Monash have both undergraduate and graduate entry?

Yes — Monash is the only Victorian school offering both. The Clayton undergraduate pathway uses UCAT-ANZ, ATAR and the CASPer situational-judgement test plus an MMI; the Churchill (Gippsland) and Malaysia graduate pathways use GAMSAT. Undergraduate entry is via VTAC; graduate entry via GEMSAS.

What test does the University of Melbourne use?

Melbourne's MD is graduate-entry and uses GAMSAT plus GPA, with an MMI at interview, applied for through GEMSAS. At roughly 330 places it is one of the largest graduate programs in the country, with strong infectious-disease research links through the Doherty Institute.

What is CASPer and which Victorian school uses it?

CASPer is an online situational-judgement test that assesses personal and professional attributes. In Victoria, Monash's Clayton undergraduate pathway includes CASPer alongside UCAT-ANZ and ATAR as part of its selection. It is a separate sitting from UCAT-ANZ.

Is Deakin medicine graduate or undergraduate?

Deakin runs a graduate-entry MD at its Geelong (Waurn Ponds) campus, selected on GAMSAT plus an MMI through GEMSAS. It has a strong regional and rural placement network across western Victoria.

Do Victorian schools have rural pathways?

Yes. Melbourne, Monash and Deakin all reserve places for rural-background applicants under the Modified Monash Model (MM2–7), and Monash's Gippsland (Churchill) program and Deakin's western-Victoria footprint are explicitly regional. Indigenous entry pathways operate at all three.
