Your prior high school studies will determine if you're eligible for direct entry into an undergraduate degree or will need to first complete a foundation program.
Whether you're a new or current student, you could be eligible for a number of merit-based scholarships of A$10,000 or more for both types of entry.
We have increased the number of available international student scholarships as part of our commitment to supporting our global student community, diversity and growing future global citizens and leaders.
Direct entry into an undergraduate degree
We accept students who graduate with a Vietnam National High School Graduation Certificate (Bang Tot Nghiep Trung hoc Pho thong). There are three ways a National High School Graduation Certificate student can meet the requirements for direct entry:
1. Graduate from one of the above approved schools and achieve the indicated minimum GPA.
2. Graduate from a non-approved school, achieve the indicated GPA AND complete an SAT/ACT meeting the minimum score
3. Enrol and complete a Trinity College Foundations Studies pathway.
All applicants must have completed any course prerequisite subjects and meet English language requirements to be eligible.
Foundation studies pathway
For students who do not attend one of the approved gifted high schools or those students who do not wish to complete Year 12 in Vietnam, Trinity College Foundation Studies (TCFS) is our preferred foundation studies program and pathway for international students seeking entry into a Melbourne undergraduate degree.
Trinity College is an affiliated residential college and pathway school of the University of Melbourne.
