Which University of Western Australia courses can Nepali students apply to?

UWA offers bachelor’s, master’s and research degrees to international students, and each course page shows its CRICOS code, intake and campus.

The courses come in three levels:

• Bachelor’s degrees, such as the Bachelor of Science, with majors you pick inside the degree.
• Master’s degrees by coursework, usually 1.5 to 2 years depending on your background.
• Research degrees, through UWA’s Graduate Research School.

UWA says some courses may not be available to international students, so check UWA’s course finder before you plan around one. Check every course on the CRICOS register, because only CRICOS courses can be studied on a student visa.

Which University of Western Australia courses can lead to a 485 visa?

No course gives you a 485 visa automatically, but degrees can lead to the Post-Higher Education Work stream if you meet its rules.

Diplomas and trade qualifications need the Post-Vocational Education Work stream, which depends on the skilled list. Home Affairs also asks that your course is CRICOS registered and meets the study rule. Read our Australia 485 visa page for the streams, lengths and fee.

We did not find a UWA statement on the 485 visa on the pages we read. Its course pages list CRICOS codes instead, for example 083866G on the Master of Information Technology, so check the code against the register.

Which University of Western Australia courses are popular with Nepali students?

The table shows University of Western Australia’s courses in the areas most popular with Nepali and Indian students, up to two per area, with each one’s level, length and campus.

Most courses start in February and July, so check the course’s own page for its exact status.

Majors such as Civil Engineering sit inside a parent degree, so you apply to that degree and choose the major. The Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) lists Crawley only for international applicants. Fees are shown on UWA’s fee browser, not on most course pages.

What do you need for each course level?

UWA has no NEB table, so it assesses your +2 individually, and most courses ask for IELTS 6.5 with no band under 6.0.

• Bachelor’s degrees: IELTS 6.5 or PTE 64, with a minimum ATAR or equivalent set by the course, such as 80 for the Bachelor of Commerce.
• Master’s degrees: IELTS 6.5 or PTE 64 for most courses, and a bachelor’s with a WAM of 60 or 65, such as the Master of Professional Accounting.
• Higher standard courses: the MBA asks for IELTS 7.0 with no band under 6.5, and the Master of Social Work asks for 7.0 in every band.

To see where your +2 grades stand, convert your NEB GPA to a percentage with our NEB GPA calculator.

How do you choose the right University of Western Australia course?

Start with your background and your plan after graduation, then check the course’s CRICOS code, intakes and campus on University of Western Australia’s own course page before you apply.

• Coming from +2? Look at the Bachelor of Business, the Bachelor of Biomedical Science or the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), and read each entry score first.
• Already hold a bachelor’s degree? The Master of Data Science and the Master of Marketing take 1.5 to 2 years, depending on your earlier study.
• Need a pathway first? UWA College, delivered by INTO Perth, runs Foundation and Diploma programs on the Perth campus that lead into UWA degrees.
• Check the campus. Most courses in this table list Crawley, and some majors are also listed at Albany, so confirm the campus on your course page.
