The placement contributes to the completion of your final year of study, or a component of your honours degree.

“My degree has taken me around the world, and in 2016 I interned in Washington DC for two months for Republican Congressman Billy Long. I was able to grasp a better understanding of the internal workings of American politics. I vastly improved my writing and research skills. I was able to network with a variety of people and organisations.”

Sarah Flynn, Bachelor of International Relation

Washington Internship Program

“The opportunity to gain international work experience made Flinders a natural choice for me. I undertook the Washington Internship Program, which was incredible. I also did an internship with the United States Consulate General in Melbourne last year and found learning about diplomacy really fascinating.”Molly Stephens, Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practice with International Relations (Honours)

Applicants need to apply through the South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC): satac.edu.auTo find out more about your admission pathways to Flinders, visit: flinders.edu.au/pathways

How do I apply?

ADMISSION PATHWAYS

At Flinders, we recognise that every prospective student is an individual and that what works for one might not be right for another.

That’s why we provide various admission pathways into Flinders University and your preferred degree. You’re encouraged to explore your options and find the entry path that’s right for you.

Year 12 entry

The majority of Year 12 applicants enter university via the traditional competitive entry method, where offers are made to eligible applicants with the highest selection rank until all places in the degree are filled. Your selection rank is used by Flinders to assess your admission to a course, and is based on your ATAR plus any adjustment factors for which you are eligible. The 2020 Minimum Selection Rank is the minimum selection rank required for consideration to enter in the next intake. The 2020 selection rank indicates the lowest rank for which an offer was made to an applicant in that degree for the previous year (including any adjustment factors). This selection rank is provided only as a guide for 2021 entry, as it may change from year to year.

Adjustment factors

Adjustment factors (formerly referred to as bonus points) may be used in combination with your ATAR to derive your course selection rank. Adjustment factors may be available for South Australian Year 12 students applying for entry to Flinders in 2021: the SA Universities Equity Scheme (UES) and the SA Language, Literacy and Mathematics Bonus Scheme (LLM).

Guaranteed entry selection rank

Achieve a selection rank equal to or above the published guaranteed entry selection rank and you’ll be guaranteed a place at Flinders. All you need to do is ensure you have listed Flinders degrees first in your preferences and you will be offered a place in the highest Flinders degree preference that you are eligible for in 2021.

uniTEST

If you’re a school leaver, uniTEST is your chance to increase your options to gain a place in your preferred degree. uniTEST is designed for school leavers and complements existing selection criteria by enhancing your overall selection rank.

Foundation Studies

The Foundation Studies program has been designed to introduce you to university study in a supportive learning environment. Open to people from all backgrounds, Foundation Studies provides a pathway to gain entry to most degrees at Flinders and offers guaranteed entry into some degrees.

TAFElink

Flinders offers guaranteed entry to selected degrees for applicants who have completed a TAFE/VET certificate IV or higher-level qualification, as long as degree prerequisites are met. Importantly, your TAFE/VET qualification does not need to be related to your selected area of study at Flinders.

TAFE SA dual offers

You can apply for a TAFE SA (RTO code: 41026) diploma or advanced diploma that is linked to a Flinders degree. You’ll receive an offer to both TAFE SA and Flinders University and, on successful completion of the TAFE course, you’ll have secured an offer for a Flinders degree. TAFE SA dual offers are available for a range of Flinders degrees.

Adult entry

The adult entry scheme enables people aged 18 years and over to apply to study at Flinders via the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT). Applications are made via SATAC.

Tertiary transfer

If you have completed at least one semester of full-time equivalent study at university, you may be able to transfer to study at Flinders University using your grade point average (GPA).

BACHELOR OF GENERAL STUDIES

The Bachelor of General Studies (SATAC code: 234181) is a flexible degree that provides a sound basis of knowledge in an area of your choice. It is designed to prepare you with communication skills, a firm grasp of ethics, and the confidence to make connections across geographical, disciplinary, social and cultural boundaries. Successful completion of the first year to the required standard also provides you with guaranteed entry into a range of our degrees.

Get more out of your degree

Whatever you’re studying, Flinders gives you the opportunity to do more with your degree to help you have a competitive edge when you graduate.

A combined degree is a combination of two Flinders bachelor degrees, meaning you will have two qualifications in just one to one-and-a-half years of extra study and undertake in-depth study in exciting combinations that aren’t usually available in single degrees.

The Bachelor of Letters is available to study alongside any degree at Flinders and enables you to graduate with two qualifications.

WHEN CAN I START?

Semester 1 – February start. Applications open in August for commencement the following year.

Semester 2* – July start. Mid-year applications open in August for commencement in July the following year.
