Entry Points, Entry Requirements and Costs

Students need to meet both a sufficient level of English language proficiency and the minimum academic requirements before they can be admitted to an Australian university.

Undergraduate degrees require an Australian Senior School Certificate of Education (Year 12) or the overseas equivalent of this. Some degrees may also have certain prerequisite subjects and grades.

Entry to postgraduate courses requires completion to a satisfactory standard of a bachelor’s degree. Prospective students may also need to demonstrate research ability or relevant work experience.

University course cost in Australia is comparable to those in other English speaking countries such as the UK and the USA. In the Australian education system, some degrees are slightly shorter than in other countries. For example, some Bachelor’s degrees take three years in Australia but four years in the USA.
