Explore your entry options

At ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø there are a number of ways you can gain admission into your preferred course.

If you apply to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) and meet the entry requirements for your course, you’ll receive an offer in the main UAC offer round in January. If you’re not sure you meet the requirements, or would like to secure an offer before the main round, we have a range of admissions programs that can help.

The type of student you are, as well as your background, current study circumstances, the course level you’re applying for, and the way you’re applying to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, will all determine which admissions programs you’ll be eligible for.

Explore our admissions programs to see which ones are best for you.
