3. Additional Questions from UCAT – Australia and New Zealand

The UCAT ANZ Consortium seeks to minimise bias due to factors such as age, gender, nationality, ethnicity or socio-economic background. In order to do this, we collect

demographic, admissions and educational data on applicants to medical and dental schools in Australia and New Zealand.

The data collected below provides the Consortium with an effective, reliable mechanism for the administration of the test, the verification of the fairness and internal

reliability of the test and allows the UCAT ANZ Consortium to undertake research related to admissions to medicine and dentistry.

Research and analysis only take place on anonymised data and the Consortium is committed to ensuring that no individuals or groups can be identified in any published

research undertaken on its behalf. For clarity, none of the data collected below is passed to Universities during or after the admissions cycle. For further details regarding

the collection, security and use of your data please refer to the Data Privacy Policy on our website.
