How to apply

1. Review entry requirements and eligibility

2. Gather your supporting documentation

As part of your application, you’ll be required to submit:

If your study was not undertaken at the University of Melbourne, please include:

  • A Detailed Syllabus or Subject Description, including all Maths and Science subjects. Download a syllabus example [RTF file].
    • Ensure your syllabus is thorough and complete and contains as much detail as possible so you can be assessed for the maximum amount of credit. Applications for additional credit after admission will not be considered unless there has been a major change to your transcript.

3. Submit your application

Additional application considerations:

Where a course offers both Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) and Australian full fee (AF) places, you only need to submit an application for one fee type. You will automatically be considered for a CSP if you are eligible.

After you apply

  • All communications related to your application, including requests for additional information and application outcomes, will be sent to the email address you registered for your application. To avoid delays, please upload requested information as soon as possible.
  • Track the progress of your application via the Application Portal.
  • Please note that the Admissions team will only contact you via email if anything else is needed; there's no need to enquire about the timeline in the meantime.
  • The time it takes to assess applications can vary. If you're applying for the next intake, this will typically be 4 to 8 weeks after we receive all required documents. Future intakes (beyond the next intake) may have different assessment timelines.
