How to apply
Admission via a Foundation year and IELTS. Master's admission is based on your bachelor's degree.
How admission to University of Sydney works, step by step:
- Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — arts, IT, medicine and business — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
- Language certificate. Usually IELTS; the exact score depends on the university and program.
- Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
- Student visa and relocation. After the offer, a student visa or residence permit for Australia is arranged. We handle this stage end to end.
After 11 years of school. Not directly: you need Foundation (a year) or the college Diploma track with transfer straight to year 2 - usually the faster and cheaper option.
