MBBS Application Procedure

International Student Admissions Test (I.S.A.T)

International Student Admissions Test (ISAT) is a three-hour multiple choice test. The test focuses on the generic and cross-curricular skills that underpin academic performance. ISAT is not a test of subject-specific knowledge. Rather, it aims to assess candidates’ cognitive ability, and Critical and Quantitative Reasoning skills.

Registering for I.S.A.T

Taylors College organises MUFY students to sit the ISAT in June/July each year. Students register online to take the test at a date advised by the MUFY Tertiary Advisor. The test is taken at Taylors College, a registered ISAT testing centre.

Interview

The interview is the second stage of the application process. ISAT scores will determine which students are offered an interview. The interview by panel aims to determine the suitability of the student not only to Monash University MBBS but also to the medical profession.

Questions will be varied and may include topics such as the students’ understanding of the profession and of the Monash course. Students will need to show an ability to provide thoughtful and informed answers. Often students take copies of their results of previous studies and certificates of extra curricular activities to the interview.
