EnglishFlinders University Admission Pathways by Student Type
Updated
Flinders University's website organizes admission information by who you are rather than by a single application route. The homepage's "I am..." menu lists ten audience categories — high school student, adult entrant, future honours student, future postgraduate student, future research student, future online student, future Indigenous student, international student, parent, and school counsellor/teacher — and each links to the admission pathways and application guidance for that group. Use this page if you are deciding which pathway fits your current status; if you already know your category, go directly to that section of the site.
How the pathways are grouped
The site separates prospective students along two dimensions: stage of study (undergraduate entry, honours, postgraduate, research) and circumstance (school leaver vs. adult entrant, domestic vs. international, Indigenous, online). The "Find your course" and "My Career Match" tools sit alongside these entry points, so you can browse courses first and then check which pathway applies.
| Student category | What the pathway covers | Where to start on the site |
|---|---|---|
| High school student | Undergraduate entry for current school students | "I am... a high school student" → Explore Admission pathways |
| Adult entrant | Entry for applicants without recent secondary study | "I am... an adult entrant" |
| Future honours student | Honours-level entry after a bachelor degree | "I am... a future honours student" |
| Future postgraduate student | Postgraduate coursework entry | "I am... a future postgraduate student" |
| Future research student | Higher degrees by research | "I am... a future research student" (also listed under Research → Study with us) |
| Future online student | Online study options | "I am... a future online student" |
| Future Indigenous student | Indigenous education pathways | "I am... a future Indigenous student" and Explore Indigenous education |
| International student | Study areas, international websites (China, Vietnam), and application for international applicants | "I am... an international student" → International study areas / Apply |
| Parent | Guidance for parents supporting an applicant | "I am... a parent" |
| School counsellor/teacher | Resources for school staff advising students | "I am... a school counsellor/teacher" |
Applying and exploring
The site pairs Explore Admission pathways with Apply and Contact us links in the Study section. The practical sequence is: identify your category, read the admission pathways page for that category, confirm the course via "Find your course" or "My Career Match," then use Apply. International applicants have a separate branch with dedicated country websites for China and Vietnam, so the domestic Apply link is not the right entry point for them.
What the site does not tell you
The available page content does not list specific entry requirements, ATAR cut-offs, English language thresholds, or application deadlines for each pathway, and it does not state whether applying carries a fee. Those details sit on the individual pathway pages rather than the homepage, so check the page for your category before relying on any figure.
Choosing your starting point
- Currently in secondary school in Australia → high school student pathway.
- Left school some time ago or lack the standard qualification → adult entrant pathway.
- Applying from outside Australia → international student pathway and the relevant country site.
- Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander applicant → Indigenous education pathway, which may sit alongside your stage-of-study category rather than replacing it.
- Already hold a degree → honours, postgraduate, or research pathway depending on your goal.
If your situation spans two categories — for example, an international applicant interested in research — start with the stage-of-study page and confirm international-specific requirements through the international section.
