women’s is a comfortable and supportive home away from home”

Frequently asked questions
-
No, but you must be enrolled in a full-time tertiary degree at university. While the College is situated within The University of Sydney, students who wish to expand their academic, leadership and social opportunities at Women’s may be studying at one of the following metropolitan universities (approved universities):
- The University of Sydney
- Australian Catholic University (Sydney)
- Macquarie University
- University of New South Wales
- The University of Notre Dame Australia, Sydney Campus
- University of Technology Sydney
For a student entering tertiary study for the first time, and who wishes to study at a university other than The University of Sydney, the student is required to:
- have a confirmed place at The Women’s College (evidence by signed Student Residency Agreement (SRA) or Affiliate Student Agreement (ASA) and payment of an Admissions Confirmation Fee); and
- provide the requisite documentation to the College of their ATAR and university course offer within the timeframe indicated in the SRA or ASA.
-
Women’s offers an Affiliate Program for non-resident students. The application process is the same as for a resident, and many of the benefits of College life are also the same.
-
Complete the online application form and send the required supporting documentation to the College. Your application is not complete until we have received all your documents. If successful, you will be invited for an interview.
