Entry requirements for Pakistani students

The Pakistani Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC/FSc) is marked 'Not accepted for direct entry' to undergraduate degrees, so students need a pathway or foundation program first; GCE A Levels are accepted (best three A Levels, or two A Levels plus one AS, with at least 7 points). Students from South Asia, including Pakistan, must apply through an authorised Adelaide University education agent; a non-refundable AUD 150 application fee applies.
