How to apply
Apply as a non-JUPAS applicant
Students with international qualifications apply directly to each university through its own portal.
Apply early
Applications open in the autumn, and many universities review them in rounds. Early rounds have the best chances and scholarship consideration.
Prepare for an interview
Competitive programmes interview shortlisted applicants, often online.
Get a student visa
The university sponsors your visa application to the Immigration Department after you accept.
Cost
Non-local students pay fees set by each university, higher than local fees. Entrance scholarships for strong applicants are common.
Language
English for almost all degrees. Applicants from non-English systems need IELTS or TOEFL.
Good to know
University halls guarantee a place for non-local students for at least the first year at most institutions.
