How to apply for undergraduate, and postgraduate coursework programs and
secure a scholarship to study in Australia
When it comes to studying in Australia, applying for undergraduate or postgraduate programs and scholarships is a simpler process in comparison to applying for research degree programs and scholarships. The entry requirements for research degree scholarships and admissions are more complex and highly competitive.
The application process for an undergraduate or postgraduate work degree program is relatively straightforward since these are not research degrees. Generally, the entire application process can be completed online ( by downloading the forms) or via approved University agents in your home country, but this is limited by geographic location. It's important to note that in some countries, the only way to apply is through agents. You can find this information on the University websites, which also list the registered or approved agents.
To apply for both admissions and scholarships, you will typically need to submit an application for admissions first. You can then indicate your interest in scholarships on the same application form or apply separately, depending on the requirements of each University. Regardless of the application process, all the necessary information will be readily available on the University websites to guide you through the process.
A) Applying for Undergraduate programs and available scholarships step-by-step
Studying in Australia as an international student is an easy and straightforward process, as long as you meet the entry requirements for your preferred course or degree program. These requirements vary depending on the program and university, and some majors may have specific prerequisites that must be met before you can receive an offer. Additionally, some universities may have country-specific entry requirements. Below are some standard entry requirements for international students looking to study in Australia.
-
An outstanding academic performance. ie good performance from your previous
studies.(outstanding grades or GPA..) Whatever system your country is using
- A good understanding and general knowledge of your area of study
-
Extra-curricular activities. This could come from cultural activities,
volunteer or any work experience
- Excellent leadership and communication skills
-
English language proficiency. This condition can be met by undertaking an
English language proficiency test(IELTS for example). The lowest score for admissions should be 6.5 overall for IELTS in most
universities or courses with no band lower than 6.0. Note that some courses
might demand even higher scores. However, some universities equally have
pathway English courses for students who have been offered a place but
failed to meet this requirement
- An outstanding recommendation letter.

Check to see that you meet the entry requirements for your chosen course and
the application documentation requirements. Indicate any scholarship you
are interested in. This can be done on the same application form usually.
Step 2. Submit your application
To apply for university, you can either do it online through the university application portal or submit a paper application by downloading the PDF forms. Paper applications can be sent back to the university through their official email or by post.
If you prefer to apply directly via an approved university agent in your home country, you can do that too. Australian universities have authorized or approved agents for different countries listed on their websites. Simply visit the website, browse through the list of agents, and locate the one for your country. Contact them and request assistance.
Step 3. Application Assessment
Upon receiving your application, this will be assessed based on academic and
English entry requirements. You will be advised of any additional
documentation required.
Step 4. Application outcome: Offer/scholarships
This is the final stage. If your application is successful, you will receive
your offer by email. Any further information and next steps will be provided
to you at this stage.
B) Applying for Postgraduate Course Programs and available scholarships step
by step
As I mentioned earlier, the application process for the postgraduate course is identical to that of the undergraduate course. Once you fulfil the entry requirements for your desired program, you are eligible to apply. You can check the General Requirements for postgraduate coursework and scholarships and apply for the course using the same steps as mentioned above.
