International Excellence Scholarship

The International Admissions team will assess eligibility automatically at the time of application. No separate scholarship application or nomination is required. There are no additional selection criteria beyond the eligibility requirements. All eligible applicants who meet the academic and English language excellence criteria will automatically be offered the scholarship.

To be considered, prospective international students must:

receive an offer for an eligible UniSQ award degree commencing in the 2027 teaching year
meet UniSQ's academic entry and English language requirements for the degree
achieve the following excellence criteria:

For international students with Australian secondary qualifications:

• ATAR of 90 or above and
• English (Units 3 & 4, C), or equivalent

For all other international students:

• minimum 90% academic average in prior studies (Grade 12 for undergraduate entry, or prior undergraduate degree for postgraduate entry) and
• IELTS overall 7.0, with no sub-score below 6.5 (for scholarship assessment purposes).

*For international students where a percentage average is not applicable, an equivalence will be assessed by the admissions team.

Please note: This scholarship cannot be held in conjunction with any other UniSQ-funded tuition fee scholarship. Scholarship eligibility does not transfer to a future year if commencement is deferred. The scholarship excludes non-award programs and programs delivered offshore and/or online through partner institutions.
