EARLY OFFERS
DIRECT APPLICATION
What is a Direct Application Early Offer and how do I apply?
Western Sydney University offers direct application via Studylink for all onshore HSC Year 12 international students (no application through UAC required). This allows our Admission to issue early Conditional Offers to Year 12 students upon receiving the application, which can be conditionally accepted by students. Bachelor of Nursing students will receive a Provisional Offer.
How does a Conditional or Provisional Offer work?
A Conditional Offer of Admission may be made when an applicant has applied for a formal course of study and has not met the academic and/or English requirements for admission. A Conditional Offer of Admission will indicate the conditions that you have to meet to be granted a full offer. While you will be able to accept your offer, you will need to meet these requirements before you can enrol in your course.
For Year 12 students who submit a direct application prior to their HSC, you will be assessed on your Year 11 results. If an offer is made it will be conditional. This means you need to meet certain criteria before the offer is unconditional e.g. successful completion of your HSC exams.
Some students may receive a Provisional Offer which means there are further conditions to fulfil. Provisional Offer holders cannot accept their offer until these conditions have been met. For example, Bachelor of Nursing applicants must provide evidence of having obtained 7.0 IELTS score in all bands or equivalent (an exception being if English is your primary language and you have completed at least 6 years of primary and secondary education in Australia, including at least 2 years between 7 and 12).
If a Conditional or Provisional Offer is issued, all of the conditions you need to satisfy in order to receive an Unconditional Offer will be outlined clearly in your offer letter.
Are all Undergraduate degrees available for a Direct Application Early Offer?
While the majority of courses can be applied for directly via Studylink, the below listed courses are excluded from Early Offer and are mandatory to apply via UAC. Offers for these courses can only be issued once ATAR and HSC results are released in December 2023:
• Doctor of Medicine
• Dean's Scholars and Advanced Courses
• B Physiotherapy
• B Podiatry Medicine
• B Speech Pathology
• B Health Science (Paramedicine).
All other Undergraduate degrees are open for direct application.
