Western Australia is a land blessed with some of the world’s most precious natural phenomena including the dolphins of Monkey Mia, the 350-million-year-old Bungle Bungle range and the towering karri forests of the South West.

Renting or leasingYou can rent or lease an apartment, unit or house on your own or share with others. When you rent or lease, you take responsibility for the property and sign a rental contract.

Juris Doctor application guidelines: about the Law School Admission Test (LSAT)
As part of the application process for the UWA JD, applicants need to register for, and sit, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). The LSAT is an independent, international test administered by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), which sends results directly to the UWA Law School.
The LSAT can be taken in any Australian capital city and in many countries around the world. Applicants should consult the LSAC website to confirm all registration and test date information as dates may vary depending on the centre location. Applicants who have taken the test within the last five years may use those results for admission purposes.
Do I have to sit the LSAT?All applicants for the UWA JD are required to have registered for the LSAT prior to applying. Only UWA Assured Pathway and Advanced Diploma in Indigenous Studies applicants are exempt from sitting the LSAT.
What can I expect in the LSAT?The LSAT comprises five multiple choice sections of 35 minutes each and a 35 minute writing sample. The writing sample does not contribute to the calculation of your LSAT score at UWA, although we receive this sample.
The LSAT has three types of questions:ÌÌ Reading comprehensionÌÌ Analytical reasoningÌÌ Logical reasoning
Go to ‘About the LSAT’ on the LSAC website for a more detailed description of these three question types and what to expect in the LSAT. Information on how the questions in the LSAT are relevant in testing an applicant’s aptitude to study law are also available.
How should I prepare for the LSAT?In order to perform to your true ability, it is strongly recommended that you take the time to prepare for the LSAT. The LSAC website includes information on LSAT Preparation Materials, providing links to sample questions with explanations and a couple of sample LSAT tests. Applicants are encouraged to download the sample LSAT test online and sit it under exam conditions to decide for themselves if further preparation is needed.
Where can I get more help to prepare for the LSAT?Many bookshops stock LSAT preparation books which can be ordered online. These books are useful in assisting applicants to perform to their true ability. There is also plenty of material available online that provides tips with LSAT preparation.
Will the selection committee read my LSAT essay?The UWA Law School Selection Committee will not use the LSAT essay when assessing applications.
When can I sit the LSAT?The LSAT can be taken in February, June, October and December. LSAT scores are valid for five years and the test can be taken three times in any two year period. Further information is available on the LSAC website.
Can I resit the LSAT?If you believe that your test score does not reflect your true ability, you can resit the LSAT. Please visit the LSAC website to check the number of times you are allowed to sit the test.
If I resit the LSAT, which score does the selection committee take into consideration?The selection committee will note all your scores but will use your highest score when considering your application.
How does UWA retrieve my results?You must include your eight digit LSAC account number where indicated on the online application form. This allows us to download your LSAT scores directly from LSAC once results are released.
How do I register?You can register for the LSAT online at the LSAC website www.lsac.org/jd/choosing-a-law-school/australia
Admission deadlines should be taken into account when selecting your test date.

Master of Pharmacy (MPharm)ÌÌ Applications open in March and close 30 June for applicants requesting an interview in either
Singapore or Hong Kong.ÌÌ Applications close in late August for those requesting a Perth interview.
MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) is standardised, mulitple choice exam, that assesses problem solving, critical thinking, writing skills and knowledge of science concepts and principles. The minimum required scores prior to April 2015, are 8 (Verbal Reasoning), 8 (Physical Sciences) M (Writing Sample) and 8 (Biological Sciences) or 123/123/123/123 after April 2015. For more information, visit www.aamc.org/mcat
GAMSAT (Graduate Australian Medical Schools Admissions Test) is held once a year in March and registration for the test usually opens in the preceding October and closes in late January / early February of the application year. GAMSAT scores are valid for two years therefore if an applicant sits the test two years in a row, they can choose which score to use. Applicants can sit the test from their penultimate year (second last year) of bachelor study. The GAMSAT has three sections: Reasoning in Humanities and Social Sciences, Written Communication and Reasoning in Biological and Physical Sciences. The third section is double weighted and tests biology and chemistry to about first year university level and physics to about Australian year 12 level.

Although admission requirements are subject to variation, applicants are usually expected to have a first class or upper second class honours degree or equivalent from an approved university.
Applicants may apply to commence at any time of the year as the programs do not run on a semester basis.
Before submitting an application, prospective postgraduate research students must contact a Graduate Research Coordinator in the appropriate school to discuss a research topic, the availability of a supervisor, eligibility for entry, resources and a research proposal.
The preliminary steps prior to submitting an application should include:ÌÌ Identify who will be
your supervisor | For science students: If you are interested in pursuing a PhD in a science discipline, you should lodge an enquiry through the online form at www.science.uwa.edu.au/research/help-enquiryFor all other students: where possible, talk to the Graduate Research Coordinator about the availability of supervision for the proposed field of study before lodging a formal application.
A list of the current Graduate Research Coordinators can be found at www.studyat.uwa.edu.au/postgrad/research/coordinators You might like to read the profiles of some of our research leaders, who you may be interested in having as a supervisor for your studies.
ÌÌ Prepare a research proposal | It is often useful to prepare a brief outline (maximum 250 words) of your proposed area of study to discuss with a prospective supervisor.
ÌÌ Discuss the resources available to you | Find out what resources are available to you as a postgraduate research student, e.g. access to an office, computer, phone, email, printing and stationery, as these vary depending on the school in which you enrol.It is very important that you make this a topic of discussion during the application phase, so that you can begin with a realistic expectation of the facilities and resources available.
ÌÌ Be informed | Spend some time looking through the University’s research website. There is a lot of useful information there for prospective research students, including how to prepare a research proposal and a copy of UWA’s research publications and expertise database www.studyat.uwa.edu.au/postgrad/research/preparation

Australian Federal Government legislation requires providers of courses to international students to register their institution and the courses they offer. This register is called the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). The Tertiary Education Quality Standards Agency (TEQSA) approves registration before a code is allocated and the details recorded on the CRICOS register. Providers and their agents must not promote a course to overseas students unless it is registered on CRICOS.
