Completion of Year 12 or equivalent
Entry requirements
For entry into most UniSC 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 UniSC 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.
English language requirements
You will also need to meet the English language requirements for this program. If you do not meet the minimum requirements, you may be able to enrol in our English Language Programs to reach the required level for most of UniSC’s programs (exceptions apply to non-standard English requirement programs).
Additional entry information
Applicants from a non-English speaking background should refer to the English language requirements for further information.
Additional student costs
Most science courses have a practical component. Students in laboratories are required to wear a laboratory coat and enclosed shoes. Many laboratory activities also require safety glasses. In many science courses a laboratory manual is required; this can either be printed out from Blackboard or, where available, purchased from Mail and Print Services (MaPS).
Some science courses have field studies (of duration one or more days) as a compulsory component. In some cases, students incur costs associated with these field classes.
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.
