SAE participates in the UAC Schools Recommendation Scheme. This scheme enables schools to recommend current Year 12 students for an early offer at SAE based on their academic merit and achievement if they apply through UAC. Applications are processed centrally by UAC, with entry interviews conducted by SAE during the months of August through to November the year prior to enrolment. For more information regarding the scheme and how to apply please visit the Schools Recommendation Scheme.
Apply for the February, May, or September intakes through QTAC OR direct to SAE.
Apply for the February, May, or September intakes directly to SAE UNLESS you are currently completing Year 12, or have left school and do NOT have a Certificate IV qualification or above, in which case you need to apply via VTAC.
