AUSTRALIAN STUDENTS

THIS IS UNI ENTRY WITHOUT THE ATAR

We understand that not everyone’s story fits into a standard academic checkbox.

That’s why we offer flexible entry options for Australian applicants, including entrance based on work and life experience. We don’t focus solely on school results like the ATAR, we’re more interested in your passion, your potential, and your readiness to succeed.

Below is a list of documents you may need to submit depending on your background. If you’re unsure, just start an application — our team will be in touch to guide you through the process.

Current Year 12 students are encouraged to check their entry requirements and apply via QTAC.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS

Step 1

STEP ONE PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTATION

ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE

If you have completed one of the following in the past 10 years please submit your academic certification:

    • Senior Secondary Certificate of Education: Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) or equivalent in your state.
    • Senior Secondary Record of Achievement: Passes in at least THREE subjects (general or applied) with a grade of C or higher studied in the final semester of year 12 or equivalent in your state.
    • Certificate III or higher: Completion certificate (qualification certificate) and academic transcript (record of results).

Along with your academic certification, you may be requested to submit more documentation.

WORK AND LIFE EXPERIENCE

If you have not completed the above academic qualifications within the past 10 years, your application will be assessed based on your work and life experience.

After submitting your application, you will be invited to attend an online or phone interview with a staff member from the college. This conversation will help assess your preparedness for study and identify any support you may need to succeed.

 

IDENTIFICATION AND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP

Submit a copy of your Australian or New Zealand citizenship document (Passport, Birth Certificate, Australian Citizenship Certificate), or proof of Australian Permanent Residency.
