Flinders University — BClinSci/MD
Flinders University's Bachelor of Clinical Sciences and Doctor of Medicine is a six-year direct entry pathway straight from high school, with no interview. The selection rank is decided 90% on your Year 12 result and 10% on the UCAT — so the ATAR is the binding bar, with a minimum of 95 and a 2025 median selection rank near 99.55.
Course details
Flinders University's Bachelor of Clinical Sciences and Doctor of Medicine is a six-year undergraduate-entry medical degree for school leavers, based in Adelaide with rural and remote placements across South Australia and the Northern Territory. It is one of the few medical programs with no interview — selection is almost entirely your Year 12 result.
Eligibility Criteria
A minimum ATAR of 95 is required to be competitive, and the selection rank is decided 90% on your Year 12 result and 10% on the UCAT. With no interview, the ATAR is the binding bar — the 2025 median selection rank was about 99.55.
The undergraduate-entry stream is small and heavily rural-reserved — about 25 of 36 places go to rural/remote applicants (Remoteness Classification RA2–RA5, 5+ consecutive or 10+ cumulative years from birth) — alongside an entry pathway for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants. Because the UCAT is only 10% of the selection rank, it is weakly predictive; strong Year 12 results matter far more here.
Selection Process
Flinders selection is almost entirely academic: clear the minimum ATAR, then applicants are ranked on a formula of 90% Year 12 result and 10% UCAT, and offers are made straight off that rank. There is no interview.
