    Study Abroad

    About

    UniSC’s Study Abroad program is a short semester-based program, allowing you the flexibility to study three or four courses (36 or 48 units) over one semester.

    In this program you will:

    • Experience a great option for high school leavers who want to study abroad without committing to a degree, or want to briefly study abroad, while earning credit towards a home degree
    • Be provided with life-changing opportunities, but also an academic and cultural adventure – allowing you to move overseas, continue studying, while fully experiencing Australian culture
    • Be located in the sunny state of Queensland on Australia’s east coast. USC is only a short drive north of the state’s capital, Brisbane

    Requirements

    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 a recognised 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 below. 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 below, you can still apply to UniSC and we will assess your application.

    In addition to the listed qualifications, successful completion of UniSC's Tertiary Preparation Pathway (TPP) program or another recognised pre-tertiary or foundation program may also meet academic entry requirements.

    You also need to meet UniSC's minimum English language requirements for your chosen program. If you do not meet the minimum English language requirements, our English Language Programs may help you reach the required level.
