How to apply
Congratulations for making the choice to study at UOW! We're here to support your choices and help you find your dream career. At UOW you'll be joining students who are all working towards the same thing - becoming part of a community of graduates who are recognised by global employers as being among the best in the world.
Applying through a UOW representative or agent
If you are based outside Australia, you will need to engage the services of a UOW international representative/agent as you cannot apply directly.
A UOW international representative can assist you with every step of the application process, from preparing application documents and formal acceptance to visa application. For your closest agent, please see our Agent List.
Applying through UAC
International students who are currently studying in an Australian secondary school may choose to apply through the Universities Admissions Centre.
Processing times
You will receive the outcome of your application within two to four weeks for coursework programs or up to six weeks for research programs.
Documentation requirements
You need to provide copies of all academic records, marksheets or transcripts of studies previously undertaken. Please see further information about supporting documents.
Some courses have additional entry requirements. For information regarding these additional requirements check the entry requirements links in the individual programs in Course Finder.
