Preparing for university

When you come to Sydney we want you to get involved.

Your course will draw you in, requiring you to contribute your ideas, and dissect the ideas of others. Your lecturers and fellow students will become your sounding boards as you explore and change your assumptions about the world around you.

You’ll also learn plenty outside the classroom. Our student life is vibrant, active and dynamic. You can contribute to University decision-making, join community volunteering programs or meet people from across the University through the 200 clubs and societies run by the student union.

We know that starting university can be a big change, so we provide a wide range of services to help you settle in. We offer one of the best scholarship and financial support schemes in the country. We run a special orientation program, and give you the opportunity to develop the skills you’ll need to study effectively at university.

Our on-campus medical and counselling services and student-run organisations are here to help, and there’s plenty of advice on hand about how to find work to support yourself while you study or plan your future career.
