James Cook University - Cairns

Undergraduate

Students must have completed at least 6 months of full-time study at a recognized higher education institution and earned a minimum cumulative GPA of 4.9 out of 7.0, or 65-70 percent average outcomes.

Students might be able to apply right after high school, but you'll need to produce your high school diploma (or equivalent). These requests will be considered on an individual basis.

Postgraduate

Students must have earned a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from a recognized institution of higher learning. Additional entrance requirements, if any, can be found in our Study Abroad Guide.

Students applying for the Study Abroad Program as postgraduates can only study for one teaching term.

English language entry requirements

Students who do not speak English as their first language must generally verify their proficiency by passing a test such as Academic IELTS, TOEFL, or Pearson (PTE Academic). Other English language tests may be accepted as proof of proficiency in the English language.

The chart shows the minimum English language requirement for the Study Abroad Program.

If you meet the academic requirements but not the English language requirement, you may be eligible for a package offer to learn English before beginning your primary course of study at JCU.
