How to apply
A Step-by-step Guide to Applying to Study by Distance with UNE
Step 1: Prepare
There are two aspects to your preparation. Firstly deciding which courses you would like to study, and then checking that you are likely to meet the requirements for that course.
Choosing a course can be overwhelming, but there's plenty of help at hand. Check our ‘What Should I Study’ page for some good starting points.
Once you know the course(s) you would like to study, check the entry requirements. Some UNE courses have additional requirements, such as work experience or legal restrictions. You'll find this detail in the course description.
If you're currently in Year 12, your application will still be assessed on the basis of your UAI, OP or equivalent. Check what this year's cut-off scores were as a guide.
Now is also the time to explore alternative entry options offered by UNE many of our most successful graduates have come through these programs.
Step 2: Lodge an application directly to UNE
If you want to study by distance with UNE, you send your application directly to us or apply online. There is no application fee.
Make sure you include originals of any documents you need to substantiate your application.

Step 3: Receiving and accepting an offer
If your application is successful, we will send you information before your course commences with full details on how to enrol for individual units. This information will come from the Student Centre. Register as soon as you can, to ensure that you get a place in the units you'd like to study each semester.
