If your qualification (grouped by country) is not listed, send the qualification transcripts with your application form to the International Office for assessment.

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).
