Before you apply

Match your own situation against the items above:

1. Pick the intake you can realistically meet. Your start year decides which tuition figure applies.
2. Compare your academic result with the ATAR 83 or IB 30 scores.
3. Compare your English test results with both the overall score and the sub-scores. A strong overall result does not cover a sub-score below the minimum.
4. Work out the total cost for your entry year, not only the per-semester figure.

Intakes, fees and entry scores can change from year to year, so check the figures for your year of entry against the details shown in this article before you apply.
