Transfer Request

This category of application is available to Australian and New Zealand citizens and Australian permanent residents only. 

Western Sydney School of Medicine will consider transfer requests from those who are currently (or have previously been) enrolled in a Bachelor of Clinical Science (Medicine)/Doctor of Medicine (MD) or equivalent at a university within Australia or New Zealand.

If you have studied medicine at an overseas university, you should apply via the General Applicant pathway or if you are an International Student who is currently (or has previously been) enrolled in a Bachelor of Clinical Science (Medicine)/Doctor of Medicine (MD) or equivalent program, you should apply via the International Applicant pathway. 

Transfers between the Western Sydney University and Charles Sturt University Bachelor of Clinical Science (Medicine)/Doctor of Medicine (MD) programs are not permitted.

The number of transfer applicant places into the Bachelor of Clinical Science (Medicine)/Doctor of Medicine (MD) will be determined by the School and subject to current student load. Western Sydney Medicine does not have a specific quota to accommodate transferring students.
