Study in Australia - Student Documents

Application for Studying in Australia

Undergraduates:

Students applying for a Bachelor or any other undergraduate course are required to submit secondary school certification and transcripts (report cards) of their final examinations. The certification should be compiled by a school official such as the principal/ headmaster.

This form should describe you in the context of your entire school experience in relation to the other students in your class. Admission committees will be interested in discovering the manner in which you have performed in your own education system. The school report should address your accomplishments and state the chance for success in studies at an university-level.

Graduates:

Students applying for Graduate courses (MBA, MS etc) must submit an official transcript from each university or college that they have attended after secondary school with complete details of the subjects, credits involved and other details such as correspondence courses, diplomas etc.

Many universities ask for the transcript to be sealed in an envelope and signed and attested across the seal by the registrar. This course of action is to be done for each and every higher learning institution that you have attended.

Some universities may ask for several transcripts, however, most require only one. If the transcripts are in a non-English language, then it must be translated into English only by the issuing authority or university, otherwise it may not be acceptable.
