Before you plan on it

Medicine in Australia is a long, expensive route for an Indian student: six years at about A$95,000 a year at UNSW comes to well over A$550,000 in tuition. Places are few, and internships after graduation are not guaranteed for international students. Read medicine in Australia, admission and UCAT and medical fees before deciding.

Questions from Indian students: Medicine in Australia

Can Indian students study MBBS in Australia?

Can I practise in India with an Australian medical degree?
