“The honours aspect of my degree elevates my research skills, enhancing my ability to tackle complex, real-world problems with a more methodical approach, which is crucial in both academia and industry. It also offers the opportunity to dive deeply into a specialised area I am passionate about, allowing me to develop expertise that can set me apart in the job market.”

Li Zhang Tam

Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Software Engineering) student

What makes up a degree

All degrees have core requirements that build key knowledge and skills. In some degrees, you’ll undertake a very defined set of units of study focused on a specific discipline – examples include degrees in physiotherapy and oral health.

Others give you more flexibility, allowing you to select from a broad range of majors, minors and electives in addition to your core units of study – examples include the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Commerce.

Units of study

Units of study (also known as just ‘units’) are the individual subjects that you undertake to make up your degree. Some units are required (known as ‘core units’) while others you can choose (known as ‘elective units’ or 'selectives').

Majors and minors

These are sets of units that cover a particular area of expertise. A major is made up of eight units, and a minor is made up of six. Any major(s) and/or minor(s) you have completed as part of your degree will be specified on your academic transcript when you graduate.

Semesters and sessions

Each academic year is made up of two semesters. You can study up to four units per semester.

You can also choose to study during additional intensive sessions to complete units within a compressed timeline.

Sample degree structures

Below are two examples of what a degree might look like for you. Once you’re here, we’ll provide plenty of support and course planning tools to help you access the full range of opportunities available and design the right degree for you.

Important information

FOR UNDERGRADUATE APPLICANTS

As an international student, there are several important things you need to know about the application and enrolment processes.

An international student is anyone who is not:

an Australian or New Zealand citizen (or dual citizen) an Australian permanent resident an Australian permanent humanitarian visa holder; or a Pacific Engagement Visa holder.

If you are a dual citizen who holds Australian or New Zealand citizenship as well as citizenship of another country, you are not an international student and you will be assessed for admission as an Australian domestic student.

Student

visas

As an international student studying in Australia, you must hold a valid Australian student visa for the duration of your study. It is important that you are familiar with all the conditions of your visa, especially if you are considering making any changes to your university enrolment.

As a student visa holder, you must also be aware of the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) framework, established by the Australian Government to ensure that universities deliver quality education and a high level of care to international students. Learn more at: sydney.edu.au/student-visas

Students younger than 18 years of age

If you will be younger than 18 years of age when you start your course, you need to provide evidence to the Australian Department of Home Affairs that you have appropriate accommodation and welfare arrangements in place in Australia.

If you will not be accompanied by a parent, legal custodian or approved nominated relative and would like the University to make appropriate arrangements for you, visit: sydney.edu.au/under-18-student-visas

Recognition of prior learning Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is when your previous studies are recognised and counted towards your current course completion requirements. If your previous studies are recognised as being equivalent or comparable to some of the content of your chosen course at the University of Sydney, you may be offered credit towards the completion of your course. This can reduce the overall number of credit points required to complete your course, and may also reduce your course duration.

RPL is often assessed on a caseby-case basis, but some faculties and some courses have existing international articulation pathways for some qualifications.

If you apply for admission directly to the University, you will be asked as part of the application process whether you wish to apply for RPL. If you tick ‘Yes’, you will receive an email with information about how to log in to the Sydney Student portal and submit an application for RPL. If your RPL application is successful, you will receive an updated offer showing RPL credit offered. You may either accept or decline this RPL credit once you

accept your offer to study with us. For faculties and courses with existing international articulation pathways (see below), you will be awarded RPL credit without having to submit a separate application.

For more information about RPL, visit: sydney.edu.au/study/rpl

International articulation pathways

The University of Sydney has a range of formal international articulation pathway arrangements with selected overseas universities, polytechnics and colleges. These arrangements can help to fast-track your studies by providing you with RPL credit towards your Sydney degree. For details, visit: sydney.edu.au/study/ international-articulation

Mandatory work requirements

Some courses have a mandatory work component that must be completed as part of the course. For courses with this requirement, this work will not count towards your student visa work limits.

For information, visit the Check visa details and conditions web page at: www.homeaffairs.gov.au

Verification of qualifications

The University is committed to preserving the integrity of our academic programs and will only admit students with valid qualifications. We may need to check on the validity of your admission documents at any time. Therefore we recommended that you keep a copy of all original documents submitted and bring these to Australia with you.

Fees and costs

FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES

Tuition fees

Tuition fees vary depending on the course and the year in which you study. See the Admission Guide on pages 60–67 for indicative tuition fees for study beginning in 2026.

All tuition fees listed in this guide are: listed in Australian dollars (AUD) based on a full-time enrolment load of 48 credit points per year, or a 1.0 Equivalent Full-Time Student Load (1.0 EFTSL), unless otherwise indicated; if your study load is greater or less than this, your tuition fees will vary accordingly exclusive of the costs of textbooks and other required course materials, additional course costs, health insurance, and living expenses such as food and accommodation

exclusive of the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF), which was introduced by the Australian Government to fund university services and support programs.

Estimating your total tuition fees

For courses that are longer than one year, we are unable to provide you with a precise indication of tuition fees beyond your 2026 tuition fees. Tuition fees increase annually (effective at the start of each calendar year), and our website is updated accordingly. For the most up-to-date tuition fees, search for your course at: sydney.edu.au/courses

Combined degrees

For most combined degrees (e.g. Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws), a single course tuition fee (subject to annual review) applies to the entire period of your studies, regardless of the units of study that you select in each of the two qualifications. The exception to this is the combined Bachelor of Veterinary Biology and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (see below).

Bachelor of Veterinary Biology and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine

The course tuition fees for this combined degree are calculated differently from those of other combined degrees. This combined degree has two separate course tuition fee rates: one rate for Years 1 and 2, when you are studying the Bachelor of Veterinary Biology, and a higher rate for Years 3 to 6, when you have progressed to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Both course tuition fees are subject to annual increases.

Double degrees comprising an undergraduate plus a postgraduate degree

For double degrees comprising an undergraduate degree plus a postgraduate degree, students usually complete the undergraduate-level degree first, before they progress to the postgraduate-level degree. These double degrees have two separate course tuition fee rates and are listed in the Admission Guide on pages 60–67. It is important to note both rates when calculating the likely total course cost.

Other costs

As well as course tuition fees, you should budget for: additional course costs, which may be substantial and may include (but may not be limited to) the costs of course-specific materials and textbooks, tools and protective clothing (see sydney.edu.au/additional-course-costs)

the annual Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF), which is $365 in 2025 and is indexed annually for the duration of your course (see sydney.edu.au/ssaf )

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), an Australian Government requirement for student visa holders for the full duration of their student visa (see sydney.edu.au/study/oshc)

living expenses, including accommodation, transport, food and other expenses (see sydney.edu.au/study/living-costs).

Annual fee reviews

All course tuition fees and the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) are subject to annual review (and indexation, when required) and will increase for each year of your study, effective at the start of each calendar year.

Payment methods

Important information FOR POSTGRADUATE APPLICANTS

An international student is anyone who is not :

an Australian or New Zealand citizen (or dual citizen)

an Australian permanent resident

an Australian permanent humanitarian visa holder; or a Pacific Engagement Visa holder.

If you are a dual citizen who holds Australian or New Zealand citizenship as well as citizenship of another country, you are not an international student and you will be assessed for admission as an Australian domestic student.

Student visas

As an international student studying in Australia, you must hold a valid Australian student visa for the duration of your study. It is important that you are familiar with all the conditions of your visa, especially if you are considering making any changes to your university enrolment.

As a student visa holder, you must also be aware of the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) framework, established by the Australian Government to ensure that universities deliver quality education and a high level of care to international students. Learn more at: sydney.edu.au/student-visas

Recognition of prior learning Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is when your previous studies and/or professional experiences are recognised and counted towards your current degree completion requirements.

The University of Sydney recognises that students begin their postgraduate studies with different levels, areas and forms of prior learning. If your previous studies or professional experience are recognised as being equivalent or comparable to some of the content of your chosen course at the University of Sydney, you may be offered credit towards the completion of your course. This can reduce the overall number of credit points required to complete your course, and may also reduce your course duration.

RPL can be granted as specific credit, as non-specific credit in a given discipline, as reduced volume of learning (RVL), or as a waiver. The type of RPL credit you may be granted will be determined by the course you are enrolled in and the level, content and completion status of your previous studies.

RPL is often assessed on a caseby-case basis, but some faculties and some courses have existing international articulation pathways for some qualifications. If you apply for admission directly to the University, you will be asked as part of the application whether you wish to apply for RPL. If you tick ‘Yes’, you will receive an email with information about how to log in to the Sydney Student portal and submit an application for RPL. If your RPL application is successful, you will receive an updated offer showing RPL credit offered. You may either accept or decline this credit once you accept your offer to study with us.

For faculties and courses with existing international articulation pathways (see below), you will be awarded RPL credit without having to submit a separate application.

For more information about RPL, visit: sydney.edu.au/study/rpl

Mandatory work requirements

Some courses have a mandatory work component that must be completed as part of the course. For courses with this requirement, this work will not count towards your student visa work limits.

For more information, visit the Check visa details and conditions web page at: homeaffairs.gov.au

Verification of qualifications

The University is committed to preserving the integrity of our academic programs, and will only admit students with valid qualifications. We may need to check on the validity of your admission documents at any time. It is recommended that you keep a copy of all original documents submitted and bring these to Australia with you.

Tuition fees vary depending on the course and the year in which you study. See the course tables on pages 80-99 for indicative tuition fees for study beginning in 2026.

All tuition fees listed in this guide are: listed in Australian dollars (AUD) based on a full-time enrolment load of 48 credit points per year, or a 1.0 Equivalent Full-Time Student Load (1.0 EFTSL), unless otherwise indicated; if your study load is greater or less than this, your tuition fees will vary accordingly exclusive of the costs of textbooks and other required course materials, additional course costs, health insurance, and living expenses such as food and accommodation exclusive of the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF), which was introduced by the Australian Government to fund university services and support programs.

Estimating your total tuition fees

For courses that are longer than one year, we are unable to provide you with a precise indication of tuition fees beyond your 2026 tuition fee. Tuition fees increase annually (effective at the start of each calendar year), and our website is updated accordingly. For the most up-to-date tuition fees, search for your course at: sydney.edu.au/courses

Other costs

As well as course tuition fees, you should budget for:

additional course costs, which may be substantial and may include (but may not be limited to) course-specific materials and textbooks, tools and protective clothing (see sydney.edu.au/ additional-course-costs)

the annual Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF), which is up to $365 in 2025 and is indexed annually for the duration of your course (see sydney.edu.au/ssaf )

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), an Australian Government requirement for student visa holders for the full duration of their student visa (see sydney.edu.au/study/oshc) living expenses, including accommodation, transport, food and other expenses (see sydney. edu.au/study/living-costs).

Annual fee reviews

All course tuition fees and the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) are subject to annual review (and indexation, when required) and will increase for each year of your study, effective at the start of each calendar year.

Payment methods

When you receive an offer to study with us, you will be required to make an initial payment equal to your first semester of course tuition fees plus your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) fee, in order to formally secure your place and apply for a student visa. Instructions on how to pay these will be included with your offer.

There are several ways you can pay your fees, including by credit card, bank transfer, BPAY (from Australian bank accounts only), Paypal or one of our online payment gateway providers (Convera, HSBC, Flywire and CIBC).

A surcharge of between 0.3% and 2.8% will apply (subject to review and change), depending on the card type used.
