How do I apply for a place?

If you are a school leaver, you must attain a minimum Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER) for admission that may vary each year. You must also meet requirements for Secondary Graduation and show competence in English by achieving a score of at least 50 in TEE English or TEE English Literature. Eligible students from non-English speaking backgrounds can demonstrate competence in English by a satisfactory result in Year 12 English for ESL Students, or the IELTS.

Applicants who have recently completed a TAFE Certificate Level IV, Diploma, Advanced Diploma (or equivalent qualifications) with good grades are eligible to be considered for admission and can apply for advanced standing.

If you are a mature-age applicant you may apply for admission based on studies taken elsewhere or by virtue of special experience in a relevant area, or by undertaking the mature-age Tertiary Entrance Examination in two or more subjects or the Special Tertiary Admissions Test conducted by the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre.

Mature-age applicants must also demonstrate competence in English. In addition, those mature-age applicants who are not taking the TEE should submit a supporting personal statement and curriculum vitae.
