Main claims to international academic or non-academic excellence

The University of Sydney, founded in 1850, is Australia's first university. Over the past 150 years, the University has built an international reputation for its outstanding teaching and as a centre of research excellence.

As one of Australia's leading universities, the University of Sydney is a key member of:

- the Group of Eight - Australia's leading research intensive universities

Basic TOEFL/IELTS requirements

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 undergraduate level, the Faculties of Architecture, Arts, Education and Social Work, Health Sciences, Nursing and Midwifery and Veterinary Science impose an IELTS requirement of 7.0 (Paper based TOEFL of 600 with a written test score of 5.0) in a number of their key programs. The Faculty of Law requires 7.5 (Paper-based TOEFL of 627 with a written test score of 5.0) for admission to all undergraduate programs.

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.

Accommodation Range

Accommodation costs vary depending on the location and inclusions (i.e. catered college, twin share, ensuite or share bathroom)
On-campus Residential College accommodation range $220 - $437 per week
On-campus self catered accommodation range $65 - $478 per week
Off-campus share or rental accommodation $100 - $260 per week

Entry Requirements

Applications to the University of Sydney must meet two basic requirements. Students must possess one or more academic qualification such as the HSC or an equivalent (or interstate or overseas equivalent), a tertiary record or a special admission qualification, and their results in these qualification/s must meet the minimum standard to be competitive against other applicants. Some faculties also have additional selection criteria, and special entry schemes are also available.

The University recognises a number of other international secondary qualifications from individual countries. If students are applying on the basis of qualifications obtained in another country, their application will be assessed for its equivalence to Australian tertiary entry standards. They may also need to sit an English proficiency test.

Language Support

The University of Sydney provides a range of English language support for 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. Workshops cover language skills in areas such as oral presentation, discussion, notetaking and critical reading. Some faculties also provide support through specially tailored units of study that focus on communication skills within the discipline, including the development of English.
