The Undergraduate Medicine and Health Science Admission Test (UMAT) is designed to assess a range of non-academic personal qualities, which are considered important for the study, and practice of medicine, dentistry and other health professions. The tests are developed each year to rigorous professional and technical standards by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER -. an independent national research and development organisation) on behalf of a group of universities (the UMAT Consortium) formed for the purpose of collaborating on selection testing of applicants for bachelors degrees in medicine and health sciences. ACER is responsible for the administration of UMAT on behalf of the UMAT Consortium.

UMAT is forever changing as are the ways in which it is used. The number of courses it relates to also grows each year:

The following universities will require UMAT as part of their selection process for entry into specific health sciences courses during 2008:

The University of Adelaide - medicine, dental surgery, oral health
Bond University - medicine
Griffith University - oral health in dental science, oral health in dental technology, oral health in dental and oral therapy, medical science
The University of Melbourne - medicine (undergraduate entry), dental science, physiotherapy, oral health, optometry
Monash University - medicine, pharmacy, pharmacy/commerce, physiotherapy
The University of Newcastle - medicine
The University of New South Wales - medicine
The University of Queensland - medicine (Year 12 conditional entry), dental science
University of Tasmania - medicine
The University of Western Australia - medicine (undergraduate entry), dentistry

What is new for 2008

2007 saw a seamless transition from 2006 with minimal changes to the UMAT. It is expected that the previous seven years of tumultuous UMAT modification has now settled and that the 2008 UMAT will hold no surprises.

Our UMAT Prep notes, practice questions and trial tests are reviewed and rewritten each year. A number of changes were made to the style of questions for the 2002 and 2003 UMAT, especially in Sections II and III. At NIE we are fully aware of the importance of these changes and our preparation material reflects this accordingly. Our notes also reflect the drastic changes to the 2006, 2005 and 2004 UMAT which included the modified presentation and grouping of questions and the enhancement of recently introduced UMAT question styles.

Established in 1999 NIE has a proven reputation as a legitimate Educational Organisation that provides sound academic programs. If you are after non UMAT specific training, courses run without lecturers or experienced staff, on-line programs that have limited access and no flexibility or fly by night courses with big promises and unrealistic guarantees then don't enrol with us.

Make no mistake - the NIE UMAT programs are absolutely unique. Why? Because we have the academic staff to support such an intensive program plus the UMAT experience and success to prove it.
