Selecting your course preferences
You can choose up to three course preferences.
We use a preference-based offer system. You can only receive one offer per offer round. That offer will be to the first course in your list of preferences for which you're eligible and competitive enough. Therefore, if you’re listing more than one course you must list your courses in the order in which you’d like to receive an offer.
Nursing courses
If you select a nursing course, you will be asked to complete the nursing declaration.
Before you can start studying to become a registered nurse, you need to demonstrate a high level of English language proficiency. For details regarding the English language proficiency requirements for admission, please refer to our AskUON knowledgebase. This will ensure you will meet the requirements for your course and for registration as a nurse.

- I declare that English is my primary language and, before the course start, I will have completed at least six years of primary and secondary education taught and assessed solely in English in a recognised country, including at least two years between Years 7 and 12 in Australia or New Zealand, or one of 28 other countries accepted by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia*.
- I declare that I have undertaken/I will undertake an English language proficiency test accepted for entry to this course preference within 2 years before the course start date (minimum test results required).
- I declare that I am currently registered as an Enrolled Nurse or Registered Nurse with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency – Nursing and Midwifery (AHPRA).
