You might want to bookmark the course page, as you'll be referring back to it as you prepare your application.
All entry requirements specific to your chosen course are listed on the course page.
You need to show you've studied in or completed a recognised qualification.
If you've recently completed high school in Australia, then your admission will likely be based on yourÌýAustralian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) or International Baccalaureate (IB) score.
We also recognise overseas high school qualifications, tertiary studies that include studies in a bachelor’s degree, completed diplomas or advanced diplomas and preparation programs.
You need to show that, along with a recognised secondary qualification, you also meet the required grade.
To help your decision-making, we publish a list ofÌýGuaranteed EntryÌýselection ranks for many of our courses. This can help you compare your options, based on your expected ATAR results.Ìý
If you don't reach the ATAR (or equivalent) requirement,Ìýwe encourage you to explore our admission pathwaysÌý´Ú´Ç°ùÌýalternative ways to get into your course.
You need to have completed any prerequisites for your course.
For example, some courses have aÌýmathematics course prerequisite. This means that you need to have completed and achieved a specified result in a recognised mathematics subject, for example a Year 12 subject.
Some education courses also have prerequisites required by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA).
±·´Ç³Ù±ð:ÌýFrom 2025, we’re replacing the advanced mathematics prerequisite for most of our degrees with more individual and targeted mathematics support upon commencement. Learn more about these changes.
For some courses or units of study, you must have reached a certain level of knowledge or have passed a relevant subject at Australian Year 12 level or equivalent.*
We generally advise against taking a unit of study or course for which you do not have the assumed knowledge as you may be at a disadvantage.
If you don't have the assumed knowledge, consider taking aÌýbridging course. We run severalÌýin mathematics, biology, statistics, chemistry, and physics for undergraduate students. Each course is held as a workshop that runs for several days, introducing the fundamentals of a complex subject.
*If you have completed an interstate Australian Year 12 qualification or the IB Diploma,Ìý. For any other qualifications, you can refer to theÌýÌýto find out if they are equivalent to your subjects.
For some courses, you must fulfil additional criteria, for example:
You might need to proveÌýEnglish language skillsÌýdepending on your course, your country of origin and your educational background.ÌýIf English is not your first language, you need to demonstrate proficiency.Ìý
For most courses, you may be able to meet the University’s English language requirements by completing aÌýrecognised Year 12 qualification in English in anÌýEnglish-speakingÌýcountry.
Before you can be admitted to the second degree, you must satisfy the progression requirements.
You need to check if your course has any inherent requirements.
These usually apply to courses that are preparing you for a career where you will be working closely with people or animals.
They aren't assessable admissions criteria but are required for you to successfully complete the course. Understanding the inherent requirements will allow you to make an informed decision about the course/career.
