Graduate Access Melbourne provides access to applicants whose personal circumstances have had a sustained adverse effect on their academic achievement at undergraduate level or who are members of a specific group known to be under-represented in higher education.
Applications for the Graduate Access Program should be submitted direct to the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences (MDHS) Student Centre during the 2012 application period.
The Melbourne Medical School at the University of Melbourne recognises that rural workforce targets are strategically important to the future of Australian healthcare and aims to encourage and recruit high quality rural origin students into the MD and to provide excellent rural training experiences that will support rural healthcare provision in the future. Applicants who are identified as being of rural origin will be considered separately as part of the Graduate Access Melbourne ranking process.
To qualify as being of rural origin applicants must have lived or studied for at least 5 years (consecutive or cumulative) after commencing primary school in a place classified by the Australian Standard Geographic Classification – Remote Areas (ASGD-RA) system as level 2 – 5 and apply via the Graduate Access program.
