Main claims to international academic or non-academic excellence

As one of Australia’s leading universities, the University of Sydney is a key member of the Group of Eight of Australia’s major research-intensive universities. Sydney has excellent international links as a member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities, of which Vice-Chancellor Professor Gavin Brown is currently the President, Academic Consortium 21, and the Worldwide Universities Network. Sydney’s global network of partners covers research collaboration and joint teaching projects as well as staff and student exchanges across 37 countries in Europe, North America and Asia.
Recent figures show that the University of Sydney is Australia’s leading research university. Sydney researchers were awarded more than $49 million by the Australian Research Council (ARC) for 120 research projects commencing in 2007 – the largest amount awarded to any university in Australia. In 2007, five Federation Fellowships were awarded to the University, bringing its total number of Federation Fellows to 17. In this important scheme to keep Australia internationally competitive in research, Sydney is the most successful university in the country.
Sydney graduates can be found at the top of their professions in all walks of life. They include Nobel laureates Professor Russell Robinson, Sir John Cornforth and Dr John Harsanyi, former President of the World Bank James Wolfensohn, academic and businesswoman Jill Ker Conway, film makers Phil Noyce, Jane Campion and Bruce Beresford, writers Germaine Greer and Clive James, and four Australian Prime Ministers – Andrew Barton (Australia’s first), William McMahon, Gough Whitlam and John Howard.

Range of Fees

Postgraduate fees range from:
Local students - AUS$2,160 – AUS$30,720
International Students – AUS$2,400 - $36,000

Basic TOEFL/IELTS requirements

The University of Sydney imposes very stringent English language requirements on applicants for admission whose prior studies were not undertaken in English. Whilst the University imposes an institutional English language minimum of an overall IELTS of 6.5 with no band below 6.0 (Paper-based TOEFL equivalent = 577 with written test score of 4.5), at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, many faculties impose higher requirements.
At the postgraduate level, the Faculties of Architecture, Arts, Dentistry, Economics and Business, Education, Health Sciences, Law, Nursing and Midwifery, Pharmacy, Science, Veterinary Science and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music all offer at least some programs that stipulate a minimum IELTS of 7.0 or Paper-based TOEFL of 600 with a written test score of 5.0. In addition, the Faculty of Sciences offers some postgraduate programs that require a minimum IELTS score of 7.5 (Paper-based TOEFL of 627 with a written test score of 5.0).

Accommodation

The University of Sydney offers a wide range of on-campus accommodation, allowing students to choose the level of support or independence they prefer. University-owned accommodation provides furnished, self-catered, single or shared accommodation in houses and units of various sizes, while the seven residential colleges on the Camperdown/Darlington campus offer full-board accommodation in furnished, single study/bedrooms with shared facilities. Some colleges also offer self-contained, self-catering accommodation. There are also residential facilities at a number of other campuses and research facilities.
The Sydney University Village, located adjacent to the Camperdown campus but close to the thriving inner-city suburb of Newtown, accommodates 650 students in a village-style environment which includes retail facilities, a food court, a bar and meeting rooms. The Village offers a range of furnished, self-catered accommodation, from single studios to 5 bedroom apartments.
The University of Sydney Accommodation Service provides information about accommodation options and maintains an extensive database of private rental, full board, temporary and exchange-for-work accommodation located near the University’s campuses or within easy access via public transport.

On-campus Residential College accommodation range $220 - $437 per week

Entry Requirements

Postgraduate students are normally required to have a bachelor’s degree in the appropriate discipline or an equivalent qualification supported by the completion of studies viewed as relevant by the faculty. Enrolment in a research-only master’s degree usually requires entry requirements of a bachelor’s degree with first or upper second-class honours or equivalent. Coursework master’s degrees usually require a three-year bachelor’s degree as an entry requirement.

A bachelor’s degree may not be essential for admission to some master’s degrees. Evidence of general or professional qualifications and experience may be sufficient to satisfy the faculty concerned that the applicant possesses the academic preparation and capacity to complete the course. In any individual case the faculty concerned can prescribe additional work to be completed before or subsequent to admission.

International students will be considered for admission to the University of Sydney if they meet the minimum eligibility criteria. The offer of a place also depends upon the number of places available and the quality of those competing for those places. In general your application will require an acceptable academic qualification and demonstrated English language competency. English language test results must be less than 2 years old.

For some courses, students are required to meet additional selection criteria such as an audition or an interview. Health and security checks are also required for some courses involving fieldwork in the New South Wales hospital system and education system.

When students apply on the basis of qualifications obtained in another country, their applications will be assessed for equivalence to Australian tertiary entry standards.

Language Support

The University of Sydney provides a range of English language support for postgraduate students. The University’s Learning Centre provides an extensive program of workshops and individual assistance to both students of non-English speaking background and English-speaking enrolled students. Special workshops for postgraduate students cover language skills in areas such as discussion, working in groups, working with your thesis supervisor and critical writing at postgraduate level. Some faculties also provide support through specially tailored units of study that focus on communication skills within the discipline, including the development of English. The Centre for English Teaching provides pre-enrolment English classes.
