You're a domestic student if you're one of the following:
Otherwise, you need to apply as an international student.
Use the course search to find what you’d like to study. Read each tab of your course page to learn more about the subjects and entry requirements for your course.
If you don't meet the entry requirements for your course, you may still be able to receive an offer through one of our entry schemes. You may be eligible for adjusted entry requirements based on factors such as academic excellence, extracurricular achievement or educational disadvantage.
Research and apply for entry schemes in advance. Some entry schemes do not require an application.
You’ll need to pay tuition fees plus additional fees, costs and incidentals.
Your fees may be reduced through a Commonwealth supported place (CSP). Most domestic undergraduate students are eligible for CSP, and you’re automatically considered when you apply.
A CSP means you pay only a portion of your fees, called the student contribution amount (SCA). The SCA varies per study area and you pay either upfront or through a HECS-HELP loan.
Under a CSP, the Australian government covers the rest of your tuition fees. Without a CSP, you pay full fees.
If you're eligible for scholarships, submit your application by the deadline. You can apply once for most scholarships through a single application form, which closes at the end of September each year.
For scholarships not included in the single scholarships form, you may need to submit separate applications. For some scholarships, you’re automatically considered when you apply at the University.
Apply through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC), which processes applications on behalf of universities in New South Wales. Before you begin, read the separate UAC process and key dates.
To apply for Sciences Po Dual Degrees, apply directly with us even if you're applying through UAC for your other preferred courses.
The University does not participate in every UAC offer round and makes limited or no offers before the December Round 2 offer round for some courses.
After December Round 2, some courses may be full and stop making offers. Courses with no vacancies will be published on the UAC website.
When the outcome of your application is available, you’ll receive an email from UAC. If successful, you get either an unconditional or a conditional offer. A conditional offer means you’ll need to provide further documentation to proceed.
After accepting your offer, you can apply to get credit for your previous study or work experience, which can reduce your fees and duration of study.
