Undergraduate Degrees in Australia

Bachelor's degrees in Australia for international students

An undergraduate degree in Australia requires the successful completion of secondary school. Australian universities generally have two major intakes for undergraduate degrees: February/March and July/August. However, some universities may also offer additional intakes in trimesters or quarters throughout the year.

Bachelor's degree programs in Australia typically combine core courses, electives, and sometimes majors or specializations within a specific discipline. The structure may include a combination of lectures, tutorials, practical work, and assessments, including exams, essays, and projects. Undergraduate students study a degree of their choice over 3-4 years. Undergraduate degrees lead to improved prospects in the job market or postgraduate study.

Australian universities often use a credit system called the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Under this system, courses or subjects completed during your bachelor's degree can earn you a certain number of credits, which can be accumulated towards a qualification or transferred to another institution.

Australian universities provide pathways and articulation options for students to transfer from vocational or technical education (e.g., TAFE) to bachelor's degree programs or to progress from an undergraduate diploma or an associate degree to a bachelor's degree.
