How to apply
1. Review entry requirements and eligibility
- Check the entry requirements tab of this course page and ensure you meet the admission criteria.
- Review the English language requirements.
- Consider whether you are eligible for Graduate Access Melbourne.
- If you are applying for multiple courses, ensure you have confirmed your preference order.
Before applying, you must complete the Initial Teacher Education Assessment (iTEA). You should plan for about 30–45 minutes to complete iTEA. The assessment must be completed within a 3-hour time window. iTEA comprises a short online questionnaire where you are asked to choose statements that best describe you, your values, and your motivations for becoming a teacher. There are no right or wrong answers. The purpose is to give you space to think honestly about why you want to teach, how you respond to challenges, and how you relate to yourself and others.
To ensure your application can be assessed efficiently, please use your legal name (the name on your formal ID such as passport or driver’s license) in your course application and iTEA. Inconsistent information between the two systems can cause a delay in the assessment of your application.
2. Gather your supporting documentation
As part of your application, you’ll be required to submit:
- Transcripts and detailed information related to all previous studies you have undertaken and/or completed, including an explanation of the grading system used and official certified English translation of any document that is not written in English. View further information about supporting documentation.
- Evidence of meeting the University's English language requirements.
- Your valid Working with Children Check
- Evidence of completion of the Initial Teacher Education Assessment (iTEA)
- Your curriculum vitae (CV) if relevant to your application
- Your professional portfolio, if relevant to your application
3. Submit your application
- To get started, begin your application here.
Additional application considerations:
Where a course offers both Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) and Australian full fee (AF) places, you only need to submit an application for one fee type. You will automatically be considered for a CSP if you are eligible.
After you apply
- All communications related to your application, including requests for additional information and application outcomes, will be sent to the email address you registered for your application. To avoid delays, please upload requested information as soon as possible.
- Please note that the Admissions team will only contact you via email if anything else is needed; there's no need to enquire about the timeline in the meantime.
Depending on how you meet the entry criteria, if your application is shortlisted, you may also be invited to attend an interview.
