To be eligible to apply, you need to have either completed Year 12 in Australia (or equivalent), or be aged 18 years or older and be applying on the basis of your previous study or work experience.
Entry to a degree is generally based on your ATAR score which is calculated on your qualifications and experience. Some of our programs (such as Visual and Performing Arts) have additional other entry requirements, like auditions and/or interviews, in addition to submitting a QTAC or direct entry application. (Please note that Film, Television and Radio applicants do not require an audition – just apply straight to QTAC.)
Students will apply to UniSQ based on:
Year 12 or recent secondary education
You can apply for UniSQ undergraduate study based on your Year 12 or recent secondary education and any other certificates or qualifications you completed while at school.
If you are currently studying Year 12, or completed Year 12 within the past two years, you are considered a recent school leaver. For the majority of UniSQ’s programs, your entry will be based on your ATAR score. Please note some programs require additional entry requirements, such as an audition and/or portfolio.
If you completed Year 12 over two years ago, your results will be converted to an equivalent ATAR and can be used as part of your work and life experience to apply for university in the future.
For further details about ATAR, visit the QTAC website.

You can apply for UniSQ undergraduate study based on completed or partially completed higher education at UniSQ or another university, including pathway programs (such as UniSQ’s Tertiary Preparation Program) offered by higher education providers.
