PATHWAYS TO
UNDERGRADUATE STUDY
There are a number of different
programs that the University of
Melbourne recognises as pathways to
undergraduate study.
Within Australia
Some of the most common pathways
to university study for international
students within Australia are:
Australian secondary school:
Many international students
complete secondary school in
Australia and then go on to university
here. As well as the Australian Year
12, some secondary schools also
offer the International Baccalaureate.
Foundation programs:
These
programs have been designed
in collaboration with Australian
universities to create a curriculum
that provides a bridge between
secondary and university studies.
There are usually multiple intakes
throughout the year of various
durations, depending on your
previous academic qualifcations.
For more information, see the entry
requirements on pages 98–103
.
Outside Australia
The University recognises many
international qualifcations as pathways
into our courses. Some of the most
common qualifcations are:
Australian Year 12 offered outside

Prerequisites for these and other
international qualifcations are listed on
pages 104–108. If your qualifcation isn’t

the Future Students website:
Advanced standing/credit for
previous study
If the University recognises a
qualifcation as a tertiary-level pathway,
for example a diploma or bachelors
program at another institution, you may
be permitted to commence a course
with advanced standing or credit for
previous study. You can submit an
application for advanced standing when
you submit your application for entry.
For information, please contact
the Offce of Admissions (see right
