How many places are there for MBBS at UTAS?

Hi guys,

Just a quick question, how many places do university of Tasmania offer for their Bachelor of Medicine/ Surgery degree? And how many of these places are given to interstate students?

Thank you

Hey there,

UTAS offers around 120 places for med annually. There are about 20 internationals and no more than about 10 interstaters as of the 2013 commencing cohort.

I feel I should add that it's known to have extremely high UMAT requirements for interstaters (~99-100%ile), at least in the past due to the 95 ATAR requirement only acting as a threshold and the uni's preference for local students. However it seems that the uni weighs both scores now which should make it easier the higher your ATAR

Hey Yangsta999

Thanks for the reply! I was just wondering since I did get a unbonded place at UTAS despite my atar being less impressive than some students with 99+ haha but it must have been my UMAT that pulled me through  I knew it was very competitive for interstate students which is why I was quite surprised haha but I got a place at Monash anyway so it looks like I'll be staying home for now  Thanks for the info
