Apply online

Ensure that you attach certified copies of transcripts of all relevant previous studies including:

Find out more about the admissions process and what happens after you submit your application.

Do not complete the online application form if you want to apply for admission to a PhD.

Instead, complete the International Students Candidature Application Form to apply for a Higher Degree by Research.

Domestic

Apply via the domestic student application portal if you are a:

• Citizen of Australia or New Zealand
• Dual citizen of Australia and another country
• Permanent Resident of Australia

Note: If you are applying, or intend to apply to live in Australia permanently, you are an international student until the Australian Government grants you Permanent Residency. If you receive Permanent Residency after you are admitted as an international student, your status will change to domestic from the date of residency.

Please contact UNE's Student Central through the AskUNE site if you would like more information about residency.

Before you submit your application to UNE International, ask yourself:

• What are the important dates?
• Do I meet the English Language Requirements?
• Do I need to undertake any extra English Language Training? See UNE's English Language Centre website for a range of programs.
• As a potential student visa holder, are you aware of your rights and obligations under ESOS, National Code, and TPS?

The academic year at UNE is divided into three trimesters. Many coursework programs are available for commencing students in either Trimester 1 or 2. Only a limited number of courses (such as the Master of Nursing Practice) start in Trimester 3.

• Trimester 1 — February to June
• Trimester 2 — June to October
• Trimester 3 — October to February

We will consider late applications where possible.

If you apply to UNE through an approved agent, we will send all correspondence relating to your application to that agent.

Please make sure that all documents submitted with an application are certified copies. A certified copy is a photocopy of an original document, which has been certified as a true copy of the original by an authorised person (see list below).

To get a document certified:

• Make a photocopy of the original document
• Take the original and the copy to an authorised person

• their full name
• signature
• date
• registration number (if any)
• qualification or occupation which makes them eligible to certify documents

Ensure that the certification statement and certifier's details do not obscure any of the text on the copy.

• Justice of the peace or bail justice
• Public Notary
• Barrister and solicitor
• Registrar or deputy registrar of a court of law
• A member of the police force
• A registered medical practitioner, dentist or veterinary practitioner
