Refugee Applicants

The Faculty of Medicine has developed a policy for the admission of refugee medical students to the University of Sydney Medical Program

  • A sub-quota of up to four Commonwealth supported places in the University of Sydney Medical Program will be available annually for refugee medical student applicants whose applications will be assessed on a case by case basis.
  • Applicants must have been granted refugee status and Australian residency by the Australian Government

All applications for the Medical Program are handled by the Australian Council for Educational Research (see ACER contact details) and must be submitted to ACER.

Applicants MUST submit original supporting document(s) at the time of applications. Otherwise applications will be processed as standard applications.

Eligible applicants are considered on a case by case basis.
