What qualifications do I need to enrol in a university course in Victoria?
If you’re planning to apply for an undergraduate course in a Victorian university you need to have at least a Year 12 (final year of school) standard or equivalent. Visit the Equivalent Overseas section of the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre website. International students whose first language is not English need a recognised English proficiency qualification such as the International English Testing System or its equivalent. If you don’t have the equivalent of Year 12 you may enrol in one of the Foundation programs, which help international students gain entry to undergraduate study at Australian universities. Some even promise a place at university if you’re successful in your completion of the course. They’re also a good way to help you adapt to the Australian academic environment and way of life.
