Entry requirements 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).

Inherent academic requirements Prospective students must consider the Inherent Academic Requirements before applying to study this program. Refer to Bachelor of Education (Secondary)/Bachelor of Recreation and Outdoor Environmental Studies - Inherent Academic Requirements UniSC strongly supports the rights of all people to pursue studies. The University embraces diversity and endeavours to accommodate all students. What are Inherent Academic Requirements (IARs)? The IARs of a program are those fundamental skills, capabilities and knowledge that students must be able to demonstrate in order to achieve the essential learning outcomes of the program, while maintaining the academic integrity of that program. Students with a disability or chronic health condition may be able to have reasonable adjustments made to enable them to meet these requirements. UniSC is committed to making reasonable adjustments to teaching and learning, assessment, placement and other activities to enable students to participate in their program. Reasonable adjustments must not fundamentally change the nature of the IAR. Consideration is given to a student's cultural and religious background/beliefs, which may impact on participation in their program or course. For further information contact Student Support . Why are Inherent Academic Requirements (IARs) important? IARs ensure the academic integrity of a program is maintained and preserves the University's learning, assessment and accreditation processes. They must be met by all students. How does this affect you? To successfully complete a program at UniSC, you need to be able to meet all the Inherent Academic Requirements. If you are applying for a program, you should read the IAR statement carefully to ensure you are able to meet them. If you have a disability or chronic health condition, contact a UniSC Disability Advisor to talk about the adjustments that may be put in place so you can meet the requirements.
