Have a question?

To apply to study with us at UNSW, you will need to submit an application through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). Applications for the Term 1 2025 intake are now open. View the 2024-2025 key dates. 

It all depends on the program you want to study, whether it’s undergraduate or postgraduate, or whether it’s a coursework degree or research degree. Normally, you need to meet both academic entry requirements and English language entry requirements to get an offer. However, some programs may have additional selection criteria.

Our dedicated degree page is the ultimate tool for you to find the perfect UNSW degree you want to study and everything you need to know before you apply.

Do you know UNSW accepts secondary qualifications of certain overseas countries? Simply switch the country that you obtained a secondary qualification in the “Entry requirements” section of the degree you want to apply on the degree page. Our website will let you know if you are eligible to apply via international direct entry. We encourage you to contact us for more information on what qualifications you may need to meet entry.

Taking English language tests is not the only way to meet our requirements. You may be eligible to apply for a waiver of English language requirements if you meet certain criteria listed on our website. Or you may choose to complete an Academic English program at UNSW College before you start studying with us. 

Alternatively, you may want to explore our pathway programs offered by UNSW College, including Foundation studies programs, Diplomas and Academic English programs. The pathway programs provide seamless transitions to UNSW Sydney with a guaranteed spot in your preferred degree if you meet the required GPA and English requirements upon completion. Don’t delay your study plan and be prepared from today! 

Yes, we do – but only for A Levels or the IB Diploma results. The total predicted aggregate must be two points higher than the total final aggregate required for admission.

Results must be printed on official school letterhead and include the institution stamp and signature of the Principal, Registrar or Academic Director. Results should be dated after 1 January for entry in Term 3 (September intake), and after 1 June for Term 1 (February intake).
