Overview
Greenwich College concentrates on English-language and foundation/pathway programs that feed into partner university degrees, rather than granting its own bachelor's qualifications.
Who is this university for?
Greenwich College is for students who need to build English proficiency or academic preparation before starting a university degree. It does not award its own bachelor degrees; its value is the guaranteed pathway into partner universities once you meet the required standard. It suits applicants who are close to but not yet at direct-entry requirements and want a structured route in.

How to apply
- Decide which partner university degree you are ultimately aiming for, since Greenwich's programs are designed to feed into those.
- Choose the right entry point: general English (ELICOS), an English for Academic Purposes course, or a foundation or diploma pathway program.
- Check the entry requirements for that program, including your current English level.
- Apply directly to Greenwich College or through an authorised agent, ideally as a package with the destination university degree.
- Accept your offer and pay fees to receive a Confirmation of Enrolment (one for the pathway, one for the degree if packaged).
- Apply for your Student visa covering the full package.
- On completing the pathway to the required standard, articulate into the partner university degree.
Requirements and steps can vary by course. Always confirm the process for your specific program on the university’s official website before applying.

Greenwich College deadlines, in detail →Greenwich College: common questions
Does Greenwich College charge an application fee for international students?
Greenwich College lists an application fee of about A$240 for direct international applications. Several universities that charge a fee waive it for applications lodged through an authorised agent, so check before you pay.
What English test score do I need to get into Greenwich College?
The institutional minimum for undergraduate entry at Greenwich College is IELTS 6 overall, or PTE Academic 50. This is a floor, not a guarantee: nursing programs usually need IELTS 7.0, teaching 7.5, and medicine, law, and business often 7.0. Postgraduate coursework is typically 6.5. Always check the score for your specific course.
How much does it cost to study at Greenwich College for a year?
As an international student, budget roughly A$55,000 to A$63,000 for your first year. That is tuition from about A$18,000, around A$33,000 in living costs for Sydney, plus roughly A$4,000 in one-off setup costs. Tuition varies widely by course.
Is Greenwich College a Group of Eight university?
No. Greenwich College is not a member of the Group of Eight (Australia's eight research-intensive universities: ANU, Melbourne, Sydney, UNSW, Queensland, Monash, Western Australia, and Adelaide). Many fields are taught just as well outside the Go8 for lower fees.
When can I start studying at Greenwich College?
Greenwich College has two main intakes a year: Semester 1, starting in February or March, and Semester 2, starting in July. The recommended time to apply is about three to four months before the intake, and postgraduate and competitive courses close earlier.
Is Greenwich College in a regional area for skilled migration?
No. Greenwich College's main campus is in a major metropolitan area, so it does not attract the regional study points. If regional migration points matter to you, look at universities in Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, or the smaller cities.
How do I apply to Greenwich College as an international student?
Choose your course and confirm it is open to international students for your intake, check the entry requirements and English score, then apply online through the university's admissions portal or through an authorised agent in your country. After an offer you accept, pay the deposit, receive a Confirmation of Enrolment, and use it to apply for a Student visa (subclass 500).
