Transferring from another Australian university

  • Apply using ATAR or uni results
  • Credit for prior study
  • One year of full-time study satisfies English language requirements

What you need to know

  • Application will be assessed on your ATAR or university results
  • Results from another Australian university can be used to apply to UWA if you have undertaken degree-level studies for a minimum of one semester full-time (or equivalent).
  • You may be eligible to have your credits acknowledged so you won’t have to repeat subjects.
  • You must satisfy our English language competence requirement. If you have completed at least one full-time year (or equivalent) study towards a bachelor degree in Australia this will be sufficient.

Transferring from a Group of Eight (Go8) member

UWA is a member of the Go8 Credit Transfer Agreement which allows students of Go8 universities to easily transfer credits between member universities.
