Admission requirements

A senior secondary qualification recognised as equivalent to an Australian Year 12 certificate. Domestic school leavers are ranked by their ATAR through the state admissions centre (UAC in NSW/ACT, VTAC in Victoria, QTAC in Queensland, SATAC in SA/NT, TISC in WA); international applicants are assessed against the recognised equivalent of their own qualification and may enter through a foundation year, a diploma pathway or with credit from prior study. Postgraduate entry normally requires a relevant bachelor’s degree, with a weighted average mark or GPA threshold and, for some programmes, professional experience or a portfolio.

Language: International applicants must evidence English proficiency. IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall is the common undergraduate and coursework-postgraduate standard, rising to 7.0–7.5 for teaching, nursing, medicine, law and social work. TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced and the university’s own English programmes are accepted as equivalents; the Department of Home Affairs sets a separate English threshold for the Student visa itself.

How to apply

  1. 1Choose a CRICOS-registered course and check its intake — most Australian degrees start in Semester 1 (late February/March) and Semester 2 (July), with some providers adding a November trimester.
  2. 2Confirm you meet the entry requirements: A senior secondary qualification recognised as equivalent to an Australian Year 12 certificate. Domestic school leavers are ranked by their ATAR through the state admissions centre (UAC in NSW/ACT, VTAC in Victoria, QTAC in Queensland, SATAC in SA/NT, TISC in WA); international applicants are assessed against the recognised equivalent of their own qualification and may enter through a foundation year, a diploma pathway or with credit from prior study. Postgraduate entry normally requires a relevant bachelor’s degree, with a weighted average mark or GPA threshold and, for some programmes, professional experience or a portfolio.
  3. 3Meet the English language requirement: International applicants must evidence English proficiency. IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall is the common undergraduate and coursework-postgraduate standard, rising to 7.0–7.5 for teaching, nursing, medicine, law and social work. TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced and the university’s own English programmes are accepted as equivalents; the Department of Home Affairs sets a separate English threshold for the Student visa itself.
  4. 4Apply directly to the university (or through a registered education agent), then accept your Letter of Offer and pay the initial fee instalment to be issued a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).
  5. 5Take out Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the length of your stay, then lodge a Student visa (subclass 500) application with the Department of Home Affairs, meeting the Genuine Student requirement and evidencing the current financial capacity amount.

For international students

International students accept a Letter of Offer, pay the first fee instalment and are issued a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE), then apply for a Student visa (subclass 500) with the Department of Home Affairs. The application must satisfy the Genuine Student requirement, include Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the full stay and evidence the current financial capacity amount. Student visa holders may work up to 48 hours per fortnight while classes are in session and unrestricted hours during scheduled breaks; eligible graduates can apply for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) to work in Australia afterwards.
