Every student's journey is different. We offer the following pathways to begin your degree at the University of Canberra, designed to match your current qualifications and help you succeed.
Direct admission is the standard process for international students applying based solely on their academic merit.
This could be a secondary school qualification equivalent to the Australian Year 12 certificate, or a tertiary qualification including a Diploma, Advanced Diploma, bachelor's or postgraduate degree.
Shave time off the time to complete another bachelor degree by using your qualifications and professional experience.
If you’ve studied a qualification at one of our partner institutions in Australia or overseas, you may be able to receive credit for your previous study so you can finish your degree sooner.
We offer university preparation courses for students who don't qualify for direct entry. Explore bridging and enabling courses that build your academic skills to meet entry requirements.
A UC diploma lets you start learning in your chosen study area or discipline now, while giving you extra study support and preparing you for university life. Once you've successfully completed your diploma, you can begin your undergraduate degree at UC with up to one year of credit.
We understand challenges can affect academic performance. That's why we factor your special circumstances into our admissions process, so you won't need to apply separately for this consideration.
