Changes to International applications

You need a minimum score of 115.

Results take up to 48 hours to process and must be sent to ANU via the Duolingo English Test

IMPORTANT: Please ensure you use the same email address for your Duolingo English Test account as you used to apply to ANU. This helps us identify you and ensure we can promptly process your results.

If you score below 115 on the Duolingo English Test, you can choose to re-take it (you may take it twice within a 30-day period). If your final score is 110, you may take part in an InitialView interview and writing exercise for further assessment by ANU.

Your test with InitialView will include an unscripted online interview and a writing sample which will be assessed by ANU. You need to nominate ANU to receive your interview.

The InitialView test costs USD$220 and can be taken once every 30 days.

See information on InitialView privacy.

While the Duolingo English Test has been approved for entry to ANU it may not satisfy visa requirements for an Australian student visa.

Current international school leavers (year 12 students) who are completing their Australian Year 12, or International Baccalaureate in 2020 should apply through the UAC International Application process to be considered for an early offer.

Just complete your online application form and upload all supporting documents by 9 August 2020. You will automatically be considered for an offer based on your Year 11 results if you meet the entry requirements. Applicants from NSW or ACT do not need to upload Year 11 results. These will be obtained on your behalf.

If you are from NSW or ACT, your application will automatically be considered for an offer in August/September offer rounds. If you are from interstate or undertaking the IB or NCEA, you need to upload your Year 11 results before 9 August to be considered.

Offers based on Year 11 results will be released in the 21 August 2020 or 18 September offer rounds.

Yes, you still need to complete Year 12.

All applicants will still need to meet standard English proficiency requirements. If you would normally expect to meet English based on completion of your Year 12 qualification, your offer may be conditional until evidence is provided. The University has extended acceptance of the Duolingo English test for Semester 1 2021 and other English tests remain acceptable as per the policy.

Yes, if your Year 11 results do not meet the entry requirements, you can still be assessed on your Year 12 results and may be eligible to receive an unconditional offer when final results are released.

No, you will automatically be reassessed on your Year 12 results if your Year 11 results did not meet entry requirements, or you have changed your preference.

If you receive an offer in August for a program that is a lower ANU preference, you will be re-assessed for a new unconditional offer in the December/January offer rounds based on your Year 12 results. You can also change your preferences in the Change of Preference window for each round.

If you don't receive an offer in the August/September rounds based on your Year 11 results, we will assess your preferences against your final ATAR (plus any adjustment factors you are eligible for) and you will receive a final admissions outcome. All final admissions outcomes are reviewable under the Coursework Award Rules. If you receive an unsuccessful outcome, information will be provided in your unsuccessful notification on how to appeal.

If we are unable to assess the pre-requisite requirement with the information in your application, you may receive a conditional offer in August/September. We may also ask you to sit a placement test which can pass the pre-requisite requirement.You may want to change your preferences to a program that does not have pre-requisites for the August/September offer rounds and then reinstate your preferences for December/January. We will re-assess your application in December/January including pre-requisites.

Bridging courses will still be available to support you if needed, but you must still be enrolled in the subjects that meet the prerequisites for your desired program in your Year 12.

Some courses at ANU have pre-requisites. This means that in order to receive an offer to study these courses you must have completed certain subjects during Year 11 or Year 12. These pre-requisites are deigned to help you thrive at university. ANU follows the state subject equivalencies set by the Universities Admissions Centre.

Chemistry If you wish to study a single degree program that requires chemistry, you must have passed chemistry in Year 11. Maths For single degree programs requiring maths, you must be currently enrolled in the relevant Year 12 mathematics subjects for your chosen degree. Students who do not complete the required maths subject in Year 12 will be required to sit a placement test. If you do not achieve at an appropriate level in the placement test you may be required to complete a bridging course. Flexible Double Degree Engineering or Advanced Computing To receive an offer to the group, you must meet the minimum requirement of Mathematics Advanced (NSW or interstate equivalent). You will also need to meet the specific pre-requisite for the degrees you want to combine.
 

Offers to study a Flexible Double degree at ANU are released in August/September and are based on you meeting our minimum selection rank. Your pre-requisite requirements are assessed when your Year 12 results are released. When you confirm your acceptance of a Flexible Double Degree in December/January you will only have the option to accept degrees for which you have met the pre-requisites.
