Academic
Undergraduate
Undergraduate courses require an Australian Senior School Certificate of Education (12 Years) or an overseas certificate equivalent of Australian high school matriculation, such as three passes at GCE A Levels in appropriate subjects. Some courses may also have certain pre-requisite subjects.
Postgraduate
Entry into postgraduate courses require satisfactory completion of a first degree at undergraduate level. Demonstrated research ability or relevant work experience may also be taken into consideration.
Vocational education and training
Usually, there are no other entrance exams to VET institutions. However, some courses may have certain pre-requisite subjects or demonstrated work experience.
Schools
Entry requirements can vary between schools throughout Australia. Academic performance and ability is taken into consideration during the selection process. Some schools are more selective in their student intake and place higher emphasis on academic or sporting excellence. School enrolments may be limited simply because the availability of spaces is at a premium.
What if you do not meet the entry requirements?
If your English language proficiency score is not high enough, there are many English language courses with starting dates throughout the year to prepare you for further study in Australia. All Australian universities have their own English language centre or have links with English language colleges.
If you do not meet the entry requirements for further study, you can enroll in secondary school in Australia. If you do not meet undergraduate course entry requirements, you may be able to enroll in Foundation Studies, which will prepare you for further studies in Australia and reserve a provisional place in your proposed course. Bridging course, such as a Master Qualifying program, are also offered. It is recommended that you seek advice from the institution about meeting their entry requirements before applying for admission into your selected courses.
