Step 1 - Research your options and Enquire Online
Once you have researched your program options, checked that you satisfy the English language requirements and undergraduate or postgraduate entry requirements , you will be ready to Enquire Online.
If you do not wish to enquire online and still wish to be considered for admission into one of UniSA's programs, please contact your nearest international representative.
Please note, applicants for postgraduate degrees by research will need to complete the Research Degree International Application Form (opens in a new browser window).
Step 2 - Apply Online
When you enquire online, you will receive an email containing information on the area of study you are interested in and a link to allow you to submit an online application through Apply Online. Apply Online is a secure and streamlined service offering step-by-step instructions to guide you through the application process.
Apply Online includes features which enable you to apply for up to six programs, save your application if you can't finish it in one sitting, and return later to continue the process. You can also query the status and track the progress of your application.
You must ensure that all supporting documentation is sent to UniSA at the time you apply.
Supporting documentation
The following documents must accompany your application if you want to avoid delays:
- Certified/notarised copies of academic transcripts - be sure to include the grading system which can usually be found on the back of your academic transcripts
- Certified/notarised copies of academic graduation diplomas/degrees
- Original English test results (IELTS or TOEFL) copies are not accepted except through contracted representatives of UniSA
- Detailed syllabi/course outlines of units previously undertaken - particularly if you are applying for credit or advanced standing

Step 3 - Acknowledgement and assessment of application
UniSA or one of our international representatives will acknowledge your application and in four to six weeks you will be notified of the outcome of your application. In some circumstances you can even accept your offer and pay fees online.
