Trinity seeks to provide overseas students studying at the University of Divinity with a safe, enjoyable and rewarding place to study.
International students are defined by the Australian Government as those who do not hold Australian or New Zealand citizenship and have not been granted Permanent Resident status in Australia. You may only enter and remain in Australia as an international student if you hold a valid student visa. The Commonwealth Government’s Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) requires all international students to study full time. (Note that international students not resident in Australia may study online at Trinity without a student visa.)
Payment of tuition fees must be made in advance, together with the completion of all necessary documentation required by DIAC, including evidence that they can meet all living costs during their time in Australia. The Department of Home Affairs (HA) requires that international students have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of their studies in Australia, prior to applying for a student visa.
The English standard requirement for undergraduates is an IELTS average across all bands of at least 6.5 with no band under 6.0, and for graduate programs an average across all bands of at least 7.0, with no band under 6.5.
