Choose your preferences with confidence. Most Adelaide University degrees offer Guaranteed Entry scores. You’ll automatically receive an offer if you meet the set ATAR-based selection rank or Year 12 subject grades. There’s no need for a separate application.

 Some degrees have prerequisites and other eligibility criteria for entry that you also need to meet. 

Some conditions apply when using Year 12 subject grades to achieve Guaranteed Entry. For grades achieved within the SACE or NTCET, subjects need to be 20-credit Stage 2 Tertiary Admission Subjects (TAS). Applicants also need to complete their SACE/NTCET qualification and achieve a base ATAR of 50 or higher (before any adjustment factors).

Commonwealth supported places in all degrees are subject to quotas and applicants should note that even if they satisfy the admission requirements, they will be competing for a limited number of places for each program. Selection is based on the relative performance of applicants within the selection criteria (e.g. ATAR, grade point average (GPA) from previous tertiary study, etc and, where applicable, performance in auditions or interviews.

If you’re offered a place at AU, you can choose to defer the start of your studies until the following year. There are some exceptions so check the individual program entries. Many programs also offer midyear entry.

Many degrees will grant advanced standing (credit) towards the requirements of the degree on the basis of corresponding studies completed at other institutions. This is particularly the case with studies taken at other universities, but some VET studies are also accepted for credit towards university degrees.

Enrolment dates may vary from degree to degree. If you receive an offer of a place, you will be sent detailed instructions for enrolling online in that degree.
