Please note:
In 2021, all first-year courses in this degree will be available online. (Note: some majors/minors may not be available online.) Second-, third- and fourth-year courses (where applicable) will be offered online progressively from 2022 onwards. If you wish to study online and are intending to apply for credit for previous studies, please contact Student Central to discuss your options. Please note that some online courses may require some attendance at a USC campus to support your learning.

For entry into most USC undergraduate degree programs, you need to have completed a minimum level of education similar to successful completion of Australian Year 12 with good grades.

Further studies, for example, a semester or more at college or university, can also be considered for entry and may give you credit transfer towards a degree.

Some examples of upper secondary qualifications and a guide to the minimum grades that USC will consider are listed here. These are minimum requirements and do not guarantee entry. Some programs may require higher grades. Alternative qualifications may also be considered on a case by case basis.

If your qualification (grouped by country) is not listed, send the qualification transcripts with your application form to the International Office for assessment.

If English is not your first language, you also need to meet the minimum English language requirements for your chosen program. If you do not meet the minimum requirements, you may like to enrol in one of our English Language Programs.
