Entry requirements

For entry into most UniSC undergraduate degree programs, you need to have completed a minimum level of education similar to successful completion of Australian Year 12 with good grades.

Further studies, for example, a semester or more at college or university, can also be considered for entry and may give you credit transfer towards a degree.

Some examples of upper secondary qualifications and a guide to the minimum grades that UniSC will consider are listed here. These are minimum requirements and do not guarantee entry. Some programs may require higher grades. Alternative qualifications may also be considered on a case by case basis.

If your qualification (grouped by country) is not listed, send the qualification transcripts with your application form to the International Office for assessment.

English language requirements

You will also need to meet the English language requirements for this program. If you do not meet the minimum requirements, you may be able to enrol in our English Language Programs to reach the required level for most of UniSC's programs (exceptions apply to non-standard English requirement programs).

Post admission requirements

To commence Professional Experience (PEx) placements in this program, students must hold a valid Blue Card in Queensland or a Working with Children Check (WWCC) in South Australia, or link their existing Blue Card or WWCC to UniSC. The Blue Card system in Queensland is regulated by legislation, Working with Children (Risk Management and Screening) Act 2000 (the Act) and the Working with Children (Risk Management and Screening) Regulation 2020. The WWCC system in South Australia is regulated by legislation, Child Safety (Prohibited Persons) Act 2016, Child Safety (Prohibited Persons) Regulations 2019, Working with Children Check guidelines. Students must undergo a criminal history check and be issued with a Blue Card by Blue Card Services or a WWCC by the South Australian Government Screening Unit to allow them to undertake Professional Experience (PEx) placement in prior-to-school and school contexts where children under 18 years of age are present. It is highly recommended students be proactive in applying for a BlueCard as soon as they are accepted into the program. PEx placements cannot commence without a valid Blue Card or WWCC.
