悉尼大学 2025 年 3 月更新

请查看以下悉尼大学2025 年 3 月的更新。

一、学生签证优先处理的影响

我们再次提醒各合作伙伴，自从澳大利亚政府实施 部长指示111号（MD111） 后，学生签证的优先处理对招生产生了影响。

由于悉尼大学各院系的课程广受欢迎，我们已达到政府设定的新生签证上限的80%（该比例并不代表悉尼大学各课程的实际招生容量）。

政府目前预计2025年签证的处理时间为12至16周。与其他“澳大利亚八校联盟”（Go8）成员院校一样，我们正在积极协助学生尽早申请、接受录取并完成签证流程。

尽管我们密切关注签证审批时间，但尚未发现所有签证都能完全符合政府规定的处理时限。

二、2026年新增本科课程

我们非常高兴地宣布悉尼大学2026年新增本科课程。目前相关课程页面正在建设中，申请通道将于2025年3月下旬开放。

• 参与此流程的申请者需提供以下材料：

Over the past year, the International Recruitment and Admissions team have worked collaboratively with all partners, making significant contributions to the University. We achieved all our planned objectives and effectively managed changes in response to government policies, such as the international student CAP. We adjusted our offers and quotas accordingly, aligning with the Government’s NOSC and NON-NOSC requirements. This later transitioned to the University’s combined target, which was a challenging process given the tight timeframe. However, we successfully overcame these difficulties. The outcome for Semester 1, 2025 is positive, and we couldn't have achieved this without your support. Thank you, everyone, for your continued dedication and support to the University of Sydney.

As Semester 1 has now commenced, we will be focusing on the upcoming Semester 2, 2025 plus the 2026 applications.

We would like to remind our partners again of the impact of the priority processing of student visas with the introduction of Ministerial Direction 111 (MD111). Due to the popularity of our programs across various faculties and schools, we have reached 80% of visas in effect for the government's definition of new commencing students' threshold for 2025. (Please note that this percentage is not a reflection of the capacity of each program at the University of Sydney).

The government advises that the current visa processing time for 2025 may be between 12 to 16 weeks. Like many other Go8 universities who have also reached 80%, we are working with our partners to ensure students have enough time to apply, accept and secure their visa. We are monitoring for any pattern on the actual visa processing times and have not seen a clear pattern yet on whether all visas are now falling within the timeline the government has stated.

As part of our ongoing commitment to process improvement and client service, we have recently reviewed and enhanced our Special Admissions process. These improvements are aimed at helping your students receive an earlier offer, ensuring a smoother journey to the University.

3.      Dalyell Scholars

Applicants who received entry under Special Admissions Process for Predicted/ Forecast results, or Vietnamese Gifted High School Year 12, Semester 1 transcript, will not be invited for Dalyell Scholars Program as a new student.

4.      We are also implementing a new change - GCE A level – Jan 2025 exam is accepted for UG SAP – Predicted/ Forecast results for S2 2025

Special Admissions Process – Postgraduate

The University is also dedicated to supporting our future postgraduate students throughout the admissions process. We are pleased to continue offering a range of special admissions processes to future international students for selected postgraduate programs.

Given the current visa processing times, we kindly ask you to encourage your students to take advantage of securing early offers.

Following a review of our Onshore and Offshore Special Admissions Processes, the following updates have been made:

1. Offshore Special Admissions

The following countries have been added to the offshore special admissions process:

·        Malaysia

·        UK

·        USA

Please note, students from countries not listed under Participating Countries may still be considered on a case-by-case basis. We encourage you to submit our request form and required documents, and our Admissions team will advise you of the outcome.

2. Onshore Special Admissions

Students completing qualifications at Australian universities' offshore campuses are now eligible for consideration under the Onshore Special Admissions Process. This includes current University of Sydney students, so please urge any of your undergraduate students to apply via the onshore special admissions process (OSAP) and secure their place early.

3. Deadlines for Special Admissions Process Requests

Students must complete the request form and submit ALL required documents by the specified deadlines to be considered for the process.

4. Special Admissions process for Master of Economics and Embedded Programs

The Master of Economics and its embedded programs are now included in all special admissions processes. Applicants must demonstrate an excellent penultimate semester GPA, which must be at least two points higher than the final GPA required for the program they have applied for.

We strongly encourage you to utilise these special admissions processes to help your students receive their unconditional offers earlier, enabling them to apply for their visas for Semester 2, 2025, as soon as possible.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) premium rise

Impacting a small number of students who were quoted 2023 OSHC rates in their unconditional offer

^{There will be an increase in the OSHC premiums for a small number of applicants who received their offer dated from before 1st November 2024. This rate increase is to bring the previously quoted OSHC aligned to the current 2024 rates. We understand that any increase in costs can be concerning, and we want to assure you that this change is solely related to the OSHC provided by Bupa and not the University or tuition fees.}

The University will be emailing the impacted students to inform them of this change and provide guidance on how to secure their current OSHC rate. The impacted students who do not accept and pay before the rate increase will be quoted the latest rates during the acceptance task and will differ slightly from the amount listed on the offer letter.

To help the impacted students avoid the higher rates, we encourage them to accept their university offer and pay their fees by the 20th March 2025, thereby securing the current rate for their OSHC.

We appreciate your support if impacted students reach out to you. Should you have any questions relating to the new rates, you can contact the campus team at

Bupa’s review of rates will occur annually, considering rising costs and increased demand for healthcare services. There will be another rate increase planned for the end of June 2025. It is important to note that Bupa is committed to keeping healthcare affordable for our students.

Scholarship reminders

Vice-Chancellor’s International Scholarship (VCIS)

The VCIS does not require a separate application but to be eligible, students must have an offer by the deadline of the offer rounds (see here). In 2024 we managed to secure additional funding for the VCIS so that more top-quality students applying for the University of Sydney could be recognised.

Sydney International Undergraduate Academic Excellence Scholarship

In 2024 we launched the Sydney International Undergraduate Academic Excellence Scholarship which is the University’s most prestigious and lucrative scholarship for undergraduate international students (we believe it is one of its kind in Australia too). This is a highly competitive scholarship targeting students with top marks in their high school curriculum who come from diverse backgrounds and study across a diverse range of programs at the University of Sydney. Students need to apply for this scholarship and have an unconditional offer at the time of their application. Limited places are available for semester 2 2025 but applications for 2026 are open if students wish to consider a gap semester and target this scholarship.

You can read more about the commencing Semester 1 scholars here: https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2025/02/28/scholarship-brings-best-and-brightest-international-students-to-sydney.html

We’d like to thank our partners who have supported the promotion of this scholarship and congratulate those who have secured a student who has been successful in being selected. As applications are very strong and one element of the process is to award on diversity of background and course, not all applicants can be successful but please keep promoting the opportunity and highlighting this to your networks.

Other scholarships

Faculties and school also have their own scholarships, some of which may require and application. Students will need to read about those via the scholarship website and follow the processes as they relate to those opportunities. All scholarships can be found here.
