Supporting documentation
You must provide evidence of your qualifications and any other supporting documentation requested with your application form. To ensure your application is processed as quickly and efficiently as possible, please take note of the following:
Ensure all documents are certified copies. A certified copy is a photocopy of an original document that has been signed and stamped by a witnessing or government authority stating it is a true copy of the original. Signatures must appear on the front of each page.
Include official translations of any papers that are not in English, as well as the original language documents. Translations must be made by a recognised translation service or government authority and include their official seal or stamp.
For each qualification or program of study you have taken, include a certified copy of:
- your official statement of final results (official academic transcript) in all subjects attempted (examination slips or term report cards are not acceptable), and
- if you have completed the program include your graduation/award certificate
If you are applying for advanced standing in recognition of prior studies you should also include the following information from an official source such as a university handbook or guide:
- descriptions of each subject/course you have successfully completed
- information about the program studied, for example, the number of courses or credit points normally required to complete the award, unit value of the courses, level of the courses (introductory or advanced and number of hours contact / instruction undertaken
- the number of years/semesters normally needed to complete the award
- the name of the award issued on completion/graduation
If English is not your first language provide evidence of English language proficiency. For example:
- an original official IELTS, TOEFL or other recognised test result certificate, or
- a letter from your school or institution confirming that all classes were conducted and examined in English plus evidence that you successfully completed your studies in the last five years
Please note: if English test results are not available at the time of application, please write on your application form when English test results will be available and send them as soon as possible. There are a number of ways you may meet our English language requirements.
Include any other documentation requested on the application form.
