1. Where can I find detailed information about my specific course of interest?

Use our Find a Course page to look up specific courses. If you’re not sure what course you’re looking for, you can expand your search and check out what disciplines or fields of study UC has, before narrowing down your choices. 

2. What are the academic and English proficiency prerequisites for admission?

The specific academic requirements vary for each course at UC. The Find a Course tool will help you find the specific entry information for your preferred course. 

You must meet the minimum English requirements for your course. To demonstrate your English proficiency, you will need to have completed previous study in Australia or another English-speaking country, prior study at a recognised institution or in a recognised qualification, or an English test.

Find out more about the English requirements of your chosen course in the international tab on the Find a Course page.

3. How do I apply for a course?

Once you have chosen your preferred course and checked that you meet the entry requirements, it’s time to put your application together. It’s easy to organise and then submit your application through our UC application portal.

As part of your application, you may need to provide supporting documents, such as certificates or transcripts from previous study, subject details of previous study, English test results or evidence of professional experience.

As an international student, you may have applied to UC through an agent. They should be your first contact if you have questions about the application process, and they will be able to help you organise your supporting documents.

6. How much will my degree cost?

Tuition fees will vary depending on the specific units of study as well as your overall degree, and also whether you are a domestic student or international student.

As well as course fees, you need to factor in your living costs and additional study costs such as the Student Services and Amenities Fee, on-campus parking, printing and photocopying, textbooks or other reference materials, digital devices and associated software, uniforms or personal safety equipment and any costs associated with training and checks for internships and placements.

As an international student, you’ll also need to consider the costs of obtaining a student visa.

7. Can I get a scholarship?

UC offers a broad range of scholarships to support you as an international student to complete your dream degree. Every year, UC awards over 100 scholarships and bursaries to assist with tuition fees, accommodation, living costs and study equipment.

Many scholarships are awarded to high-achieving students, but we also support disadvantaged students. There are also some subject-specific or course-specific scholarships.
