Course search help

Keywords

A keywords search allows you to enter the course name, UAC course code, institution name, type of course or a combination. Entries are not case sensitive.

For example: if you want to find a course in accounting at the Australian Catholic University, select 'all' and type in: catholic accounting

Any, all, exact

Choose 'any' to list as many courses as possible - for example, type in 'mathematics teaching' and select 'any' to find every instance of the word 'mathematics' and every instance of the word 'teaching'.

Choose 'all' to list courses which include all of the keywords you entered - for example, type in 'mathematics teaching' and select 'all' to find every instance of the two words used together.

Choose 'exact' to narrow your matches to the exact combination of words that you enter.

Course type

Choose Commonwealth-supported place (CSP), domestic fee-paying (DFEE), or a combination of Commonwealth-supported place (CSP) and domestic fee-paying (DFEE).

When you list your course preferences, make sure you use the correct UAC course code otherwise you could find you have applied for domestic fee-paying (DFEE) courses when you intended to apply only for Commonwealth-supported place (CSP) courses.

A CSP course used to be called a HECS course and is where you only have to pay part of the cost. The Commonwealth Government subsidises the rest.

A DFEE course will cost more money than a CSP course because you will have to pay all of the cost. There is no Commonwealth Government subsidy.

If you do not specify course type, CSP courses will be shown first, and DFEE courses second.
