Current year 12 students

High school students

If you are a Year 12 school leaver, you can apply directly to SIBT or through the NSW University Admissions Centre (UAC) for the first semester intake. Year 11 school leavers can apply for our Foundation program directly through the SIBT online application form.

Applying through UAC

Online UAC applications open in August for students intending to start their university studies the following year. For the first semester at SIBT, which starts in March, eligible students should apply through UAC. To select SIBT as your preference, simply input the relevant UAC code (as provided under the section SIBT UAC codes) on your UAC application. FEE-HELP is also available for eligible students.

You can apply through UAC if you are:

  • an Australian citizen
  • an Australian permanent resident
  • a New Zealand citizen
  • a temporary resident currently studying an Australian Year 12* or International Baccalaureate in Australia or New Zealand.

*For example: HSC, VCE, VCAL, NTCE, QLD Senior Certificate, SACE, TCE, WACE. Contact UAC directly for more information about the application process.

  • The UAC rounds have closed for the February intake

If you are a year 11 student, you would need to apply for SIBT’s Foundation program before completing a diploma program.
