Yes. All applicants to Western Sydney University coursework programs are automatically considered for an international scholarship — no separate application is required. Scholarships available include the Western Sydney International Undergraduate Scholarship ($3,000 or $6,000 per year for up to three years), the Vice-Chancellor's Academic Excellence Undergraduate Scholarship (50% of tuition fees for three years), and the Regional Achievement Award (AUD $5,000 or $10,000 for students from North Asia and South East Asia). Scholarships are awarded on academic merit and successful recipients are notified in their Offer of Admission letter.

As an international student on a student visa, you must undertake a full-time study load and complete your program by the end date of your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). This means enrolling in 40 credit points (four subjects) in Autumn or Spring sessions, or 20 credit points (two subjects) in a Quarter teaching session. In limited circumstances, you may apply for a Reduced Study Load based on extenuating/medical or academic reasons, subject to approval.
