• Overseas qualifications arrow_forward_ios

  We consider applications that include equivalent overseas qualifications for admissions purposes. If you’re an Australian citizen or permanent resident applying with an overseas secondary qualification, visit the  UAC website to learn more, and consider using their UAC Qualifications Assessment Service before you apply to study. 

  If you’re applying as an international student, visit our UTS International page.  

• Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) arrow_forward_ios

  Most courses consider the STAT multiple-choice test taken in the 3 years before the year of admission (for example, for 2025 admission, STAT results obtained in 2024, 2023 or 2022 can be considered).

  Courses that do not consider this test include:

  • scholarship courses
  • accelerated nursing courses, and
  • single and combined Law courses.

  For more information, visit Skills for Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) 

• Other qualifications arrow_forward_ios

  If you have qualifications not listed here, they may be able to be considered in your application. Contact ASK UTS to confirm whether your qualification can be used with:

  • your UAC application number (if you already applied); and
  • your qualification documents (e.g. transcripts and certificate).

  We'll review your documents and let you know if your qualification will be considered. Please note that a determination cannot be made for all qualifications. Some will require UAC to formally assess via an application or their Qualification Assessment Service.
