Entry Requirements
Although St Andrew's was founded on the initiative of the Presbyterian Church, students of any denomination or religion who have gained admission to the University of Sydney are eligible to enter the College. Should vacancies exist, students attending other nearby universities may be eligible to enter the College.
The College offers many scholarships to freshers and returning students. There are also several prizes awarded annually to students continuing at College, on the basis of University results.
Completing the Application Form
- Please complete all sections of the form, including criteria for the Personal Statement (this may be typed or neatly handwritten but is included in the online application form).
- Remember to include $250 (non-refundable) application fee and 2 passport photos with the application form. Your application is not complete until all these items have been received.
- You can ask your referees to complete the Confidential Referee Forms enclosed with the application pack and mail directly to St Andrew's College, or you may send letters of reference if you have them already.
What happens next?
- Once your complete application has been received, we will contact you to let you know whether we'd like you to come in for an interview, which will normally be scheduled from the end of June. You will be shown around the College at this time and will be able to ask any questions you may have about life in College, University matters, etc. Allow approximately 1 hour.
- When your ATAR (school) results are available, you should let us have these as soon as possible. Alternatively, if you are already at University, please supply a photocopy of your most recent University examination results transcript.
