^{View information for international students}

An undergraduate degree is your first degree at university and may include Honours.

Step 1 Choose your degree

If you are applying to study Master of Psychology (Clinical) or Doctor of Medicine, Flinders University will handle the entire process.

Step 2 Check your eligibility and entry requirements

There are a number of ways that you can gain entry into an undergraduate degree. The course pages list all entry requirements for each degree.

Admission to all courses is limited by quota and is normally based on academic merit as determined by assessment of an applicant’s qualifications. There is more than one way to begin your university journey.

View our admission pathways page for more details.

Step 3 Review your finances

All our courses list indicative fees. Your undergraduate course is Commonwealth-supported.

You can get a HECS-HELP loan for your student contribution portion of your loan.

March intake (semester 1):
Applications open in August for commencement the following year. All courses are open for applications.

Orientation

Orientation, or O Week, is your transition to university. We’ll help you settle in, find your way around and discover what’s available academically and socially.

Orientation week begins the week before university starts. For our July intake, Orientation week runs in the same week as week 1 to help smoothen your transition

Your course fees

Commonwealth Support

All our courses list indicative fees but as an undergraduate student your course is Commonwealth supported provided you’re an eligible Australian citizen, New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.

Your course being Commonwealth supported means that your course fees are shared between the Australian government and you – with your portion being the student contribution amount.

Thinking about deferring your offer?

If you do not wish to commence studying straight away, you may be eligible to have your offer deferred for a full calendar year of study. Flinders can hold your place in a deferrable course for up to two consecutive years.

Alternatively, if you are finding the transition to university challenging, you may want to seek additional support before making the decision to defer. We offer a range of activities and services that can provide you with this support.
