Direct Entry MBBS Programs Offered in Australia
Monash University, University of New South Wales and University of Tansmania are the only three universities in Australia that offer undergraduate entry into their MBBS/MD Programs.
This implies that students no longer have to complete a Bachelors degree (3 years) before enrolling into the MBBS/MD Programmes.
| University | Course Duration | Course Outline |

The University of Monash |
5 years | The Monash Undergraduate Medical course is a five-year program of study with direct entry from school. Monash Undergraduate Medicine may be undertaken at Monash University Clayton campus or Monash University Malaysia. The first two years are campus based and the final three years are hospital and community based. The course presents a continually expanding level of medical experience, starting in the first semester of the course. In the early years, the basic medical sciences are taught in the context of their relevance to patient care. Later in the course, clinical teaching builds upon and reinforces this strong scientific foundation. An emphasis on clinical communication skills and early clinical contact visits to medical practices, community care facilities and hospitals, is a feature of the Monash course.
