Open to high school leavers

Undergraduate Medicine (4-5 years)

This pathway is open to school-leavers and involves direct entry into a medical degree straight out of school, at the end of which they graduate with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS/MBChB). This pathway is offered by select universities, to students who perform exceptionally well in school and in the UCAT.

Open to high school leavers

Provisional Entry (6-7 years)

This pathway is open to school leavers in Australia who achieve a very high ATAR (typically in the high 98–99+ range). Instead of granting direct entry into undergraduate medicine, students are offered a conditional pathway into postgraduate medicine. This means students complete an undergraduate degree upon leaving school and may transition into postgraduate medicine, provided they meet the university’s progression requirements.

Open to university students

Postgraduate Medicine (6-8 years)

This pathway is open to those who have completed any undergraduate degree at university. The degree offered is the Doctor of Medicine (MD). For this pathway, students can apply through GEMSAS - the Graduate Medical School Consortium - as well as direct-to-institution for some universities. Learn more about Postgraduate medical school.

Our students have the best stories

These are just a few of the success stories from students who have worked with MedView

In my second year of applications, I decided to give MedView's program a go as I had heard good things about it. MedView gave me the opportunity to meet 4 different students studying medicine all across Australia, who have shared their own bits of wisdom and personal experiences in medical school. Fortunately, I was able to get into my first-preference med school this year!

Kish Arora

University of Sydney

Attending MedView this year has been a great opportunity that took me a long way with my grades. The tutors have boosted my passion for the things I studied this year. Throughout this year there have been many times when I have thought about giving up and choosing a pathway easier than Medicine however talking to my tutors has given me a spark of hope and motivation to keep going.

Ishani Oza

University of Auckland

The worksheets that MedView provided for every class and review sessions were extremely beneficial in testing and finding gaps in my knowledge. The exam review sessions were also enjoyable and gave me a holistic view of the subject. The Q&A sessions after classes were also helpful as it gave me an opportunity to get clarification on concepts I found difficult, without holding up the class.

Sarah Yap

University of Auckland

I was fortunate enough to undergo tutoring from MedView throughout this year. I really valued the insights the tutors had to offer from having gone through the whole first year experience themselves. I believe MedView is doing a lot of good for young aspiring students and I appreciate how the tutors and mentors stick with you throughout the year. It was very inspirational for me.

Chris Varghese

University of Auckland

MedView went above and beyond what I expected. The Medical Interview mentor I had was incredible at identifying my specific areas of improvement, and worked with me to close those skill-gaps. The personalised-tutoring aspect of the MedView process meant that in a short space of time, I could get optimum results in line with my med school aspirations. I'm so grateful for MedView's help!

Alisha Sethi

University of Sydney

Working with MedView enabled me to pursue my dream of getting into medicine. With the help of their amazing tutors, I was able to move my GAMSAT by over 10 points, construct a great portfolio and develop my interview skills. I couldn't recommend them more. The staff are very supportive and go above and beyond to help however they can.

Isabella Nicholson

Notre Dame

As a lot of students in BioMed / HealthSci, I experimented with many companies that offered tutoring for the challenging courses, I found MedView most helpful, as it was a collective that was experienced and well-resourced in providing efficient study help. They were by far the most structured and efficient lessons I'd been to.

Devanshi Jani

University of Auckland

I found the tutoring and support that I received from MedView this year extremely helpful. I really enjoyed the personable aspect of MedView classes. I really enjoyed when the tutors told stories of their experiences in medical school. Often they were directly related to what we were learning at the time and the stories were motivating, inspiring and usually quite hilarious!

Emma Bower

University of Auckland

It has been an amazing experience to work with MedView. I was completely clueless with UCAT but through the courses, they were able to get me up to speed. The tutors are amazing and super knowledgeable. It was a pleasure hearing their experiences and ideas which I took with me into the examinations.

Ryan Dai

University of Otago

MedView significantly helped me achieve my goals and has positioned me well for my education. Through the very thorough tutoring and resources they provided me, they have enabled and enriched me to achieve an ATAR of 99.95! Through their comprehensive and experienced team, they prepared me well for my MMI interviews, receiving offers from both UNSW and UQ medical programs. In one word, my experience with MedView was exceptional.

Vishaak

University of Queensland

My tutor motivated me to want to study medicine even more. He showed me that there's a site outside of just the academics of it, and there's really opportunities to do other things and go beyond just academics. And I think it's quite a nice picture to kind of portray and convey, and to be on the receiving end of that, especially as someone that's going into uni this year!

Jillian Ee

University of Nottingham

Working with top NCEA tutors, who were all current medical students, was extremely useful in keeping me focused and motivated to reach my goals. I found working with a coordinated team of UCAT, Multiple Mini Interview, and high-school curriculum experts super helpful! I would not have successfully gained acceptance into Monash if it were not for MedView's support.

Jeevan Vettivel

Monash University

The tutors were really helpful, friendly & knowledgeable in their respective subjects. year, I found that my individual subject tutoring, as well as UCAT tutoring, helped me achieve the high marks necessary to get into medical school while also providing support when needed. I believe that regardless of your current level in your studies, MedView can help you excel and achieve your goals.

Daniel Tan

University of Otago

The MedView team and tutors were exceptional. They went above and beyond to guide me through the application process, providing incredible academic support and advice throughout the year. The tutors were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They gave me valuable feedback in specific areas I needed to improve in, optimising the development of my UCAT and interview skills.

Ella Browne

University of Adelaide

I think one advantage that UK medicine now say, advantage or a different perspective it provides over local medicine, is the fact that you can intercalate and do an extra degree apart from medicine. If it wasn't for MedView / Crimson I wouldn't have known this was an opportunity and would probably not have applied to the UK at all!!

Tasha Leow

Glasgow University

It was one of my best decisions to engage with the Medview team last year. Compared to my first attempt to apply to medical schools without any external help, I can confidently say that MedView is a student-oriented team and this has made a massive difference in reducing uncertainties, surrounding preparation, resulting in successfully gaining admission to medical school.

Jitpinant Uranpanichayabhol

University of Tasmania

My experience with MedView was really great. I felt supported by my tutors who were full of life and character, who reassured me when I began to feel stressed about the upcoming exams. My Education Coordinator arranged something very nice for me. I had a twin sister, and we both strove for medicine and they allowed for us to have the same tutor for both interview and UCAT prep so that we could benefit and study together.

Mary Alagha

Western Sydney University

I signed on for MedView’s UCAT and Academic tutoring package and was matched with tutors who were both exceptionally helpful, but also willing to go at my pace when life got in the way. While working with my tutors, I was able to develop study habits, better my understanding of assessment items and get help editing my work. With MedView, I was able to work with my tutors to create massive improvements in my grades.

Simon Gong

UQ (University of Queensland)

MedView has supported me so much in my journey to getting into Medicine. The tutors were great at telling stories of their own journey to med school which made it so much easier and reassuring to know that I wasn’t alone in the challenges I faced. I couldn’t have done it without their guidance.

Natalie Featherston

La Trobe University

I always knew that medicine was what I wanted to do once I finished school so when I came across Medview I knew they would be perfect in supporting me to achieve this. Medview has guided and supported me in so many ways, through school, the UCAT, interviews and admission.

Caitlyn Zamuner

Flinders University

My MedView tutors greatly motivated me through my years in the IB diploma. They took the time and effort to adapt to my learning styles, were flexible with my schedules, and always supported me academically or emotionally. I worked with UCAT and MMI tutors and also received advice during the application process.

Esha Goel

Central Queensland University

I joined MedView in Year 11. MedView’s personalised UCAT tutoring service exceeded all expectations. As a high school student navigating through the maze of medical school admissions, I was fortunate to have a team of tutors and mentors who provided me with the experience and knowledge to excel in the UCAT.

Nathan Wong

University of Queensland

When I engaged with MedView, I wasn't very familiar with the UK application process. They were so helpful in terms of telling me what I need to do, the deadlines, and the structure of what I needed to do. For example, they gave me the right guidance on what leadership activities to do, when I should have my first draft of the personal statement, improvements for the second draft and so on and so forth.

Rachel Chua

UCL

The entire MedView team has been a huge backbone in my journey to getting into medical school. The tutors and mentors are so warm and friendly that you do not feel intimidated and genuinely enjoy the learning process. I am certain that their involvement has been a huge factor in the outcome of my applications.

Mehek Sanghavi

Curtin University

Medview has been incredibly supportive in helping me apply for Medicine. In particular, the Academic coordinators and tutors they paired me up with were wonderful to work with, supporting me not only academically in surpassing the results I had expected but also sharing their own experiences to make me feel more comfortable with and optimistic towards the application process.

Shirley Xu

University of Queensland

Joined MedView in 2022. I had an exceptional experience with the team throughout my medical school journey. Their dedication and expertise were readily apparent as they guided me through what can often be an intimidating process. The mentors were incredibly accommodating and well-informed. I couldn't be more pleased with their professionalism, expertise, and accessibility.

Nads Tennakoon

University of Southern Queensland

I had an exceptional experience with MedView. During my three years with MedView, I was blessed with a team of tutors and education coordinators who went above and beyond for every step of my medicine application journey. From guiding me through the application process to providing quality tutoring, my experience with the MedView team has been fantastic!

Owen Chen

University of Sydney

I first came across MedView when I attended an information session that was an introduction to applying for med school. For me the advice and support from the MedView team was invaluable. Also having knowledgeable people to ask questions covering all aspects of the application process made me more confident and helped me secure interviews with universities and then my final offers.

Emma Jorgensen

Adelaide University

I am the second member in my family to study medicine. I joined Medview in the first year of Biomedical Science at the University of Auckland and I found that they were super helpful, especially my UCAT tutor Jackson and MMI tutor Raffael, they are both very patient and dedicated tutors. I found Medview very helpful in my journey to Medicine and would recommend them.

Linxuan Zhang

University of Auckland

I joined MedView when I was a year 13 student studying in Auckland. I signed up for a free consultation with one of their awesome academic advisors! My Academic Advisor, Braxton, made a particular impact on my admissions journey. Medview helped me feel more confident in my abilities with their support and I had a far more comprehensive understanding of what it took to enter medical school.

Anna Casey

University of Auckland

MedView has been really helpful to me. I would really recommend the flying start course and weekly revision sessions to anyone who’s wanting to apply for clinical programs. It helps with getting a heads up before the start of uni, and it lets you keep on top of the content and allow you to start revising early on. UCAT tutoring sessions are great too. All the medview tutors are awesome, they are very flexible with timing. Would definitely recommend!!

Dina

MedView has provided me with an excellent foundation for my pre-med journey. I found the Flying Start course to be a valuable resource as it helped me ease into the first semester workload, which I would have found much more difficult otherwise. Moreover, the weekly revision sessions were very useful for consolidating lecture content, and I found all of the tutors to be approachable and well-versed at answering any of my questions.

Ethan Moy

This place is absolutely amazing. MedView provides support to all students, and for me personally has been supporting me and following up on any matters of concern I may have. They are extremely prompt with your requests and have a team of highly qualified tutors to assist with all you concerns an would help you to the best of their ability. 10/10. Highly recommend!

Tehzeeb Mohiuddin

MedView has been extremely helpful in my preparation to apply to Med School. The tutors are all of high quality and extremely approachable. I would recommend their Flying Start courses that give you an invaluable upper hand when entering the semester!

Jasmine He

MedView has exceeded my expectations with their tutoring services. In the Flying Start courses, their knowledgeable instructors provided clear explanations and valuable guidance, ensuring my academic success. The administrative team was responsive and professional, making the entire experience even better. I highly recommend MedView to anyone who wants to apply to Med School.

S. Zhang

I'm fairly new to being part of MedView, but in the brief period I've been with them, I can already envision its effectiveness and benefit for my future! From the incredibly patient, dedicated, understanding, and supportive tutors to the highly impressive platform they provide, specifically designed to help us excel in the UCAT and enhance our prospects of admission to our desired university.
