Eligibility

MD students wishing to undertake the MD/PhD intercalated program are subject to the same PhD entry requirements as all other PhD applicants as outlined at: Doctor of Philosophy - Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences : Entry requirements - The University of Melbourne

It is important to note that meeting the above listed requirements does not automatically guarantee selection as a PhD candidate. Each application and proposal will be assessed on its individual merits.

To assist with application and entry to the program, students will be asked to have an early consultation with the Doctor of Medicine Course Director to discuss their aspirations and ensure that they understand the structure of the program prior to applying.

To enquire about pathway eligibility, the application process or to arrange a consultation with the MD Course Director, current medical students should contact the MD Academic Programs Team via the dedicated online enquiry form.

Note that current government visa and university requirements preclude international student visa holders from undertaking this pathway at present.
