Our Faculty has an international reputation for research and innovation, providing you with unrivalled access to various clinical environments. This programme is accredited by the Australian Medical Council on behalf of the Medical Council of New Zealand. You need to apply for the first year of either the Bachelor of Health Sciences or Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science. School leavers cannot apply directly into the MBChB. There are two application categories for entry into the MBChB: Category One: First year BHSc or BSc (Biomedical Science) Category Two: Graduate admission Please note: You can only have two attempts at applying to the MBChB programme. Entry criteria may change every year. You will be required to sit the Undergraduate Medical and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT) in the year of application. Shortlisted applicants will be subject to a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI).

Those who complete the Medical Programme are eligible to apply for provisional registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand. You might choose primary health care and work in general practice, or choose from a range of other specialist disciplines. Students interested in research may defer clinical MBChB studies after Part III and take a year pursuing a supervised research project of their choice to qualify for a BMedSc(Hons) degree before returning to complete their clinical training and graduating with both qualifications. We advise that the University of Auckland is not involved in the employment of graduates and can make no guarantee of post-qualification registration or employment in New Zealand or any other country.
