DEFENCE CIVILIAN UNDERGRADUATE SPONSORSHIP

The Department of Defence is offering sponsorships to students who have completed their secondary education and are interested in pursuing a degree as a civilian student on campus at The University of New South Wales' Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra. Civilian students will learn alongside military cadets who are training in order to join the Australian Defence Force in either the Navy, Army or Air Force.

  • The opportunity to study at UNSW ADFA Canberra which is one of Australia’s most respected universities and has the best student-to-teacher ratio in the country
  • Full tuition costs for your Bachelor degree - this means no Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) fees
  • A generous allowance of $2,000 per annum to put towards the cost of text books and other study expenses
  • An opportunity for practical work placements, which in some cases will form part of the professional requirements of your degree
  • The benefit of Defence experience when applying for the Defence Graduate Program in the final year of your undergraduate degree
  • Exposure to a unique and diverse organisation with great career opportunities
  • An opportunity to work on projects with leading edge technology

The Department of Defence will determine the undergraduate degree disciplines that will be offered from the following options:

  • Bachelor of Engineering (4 years) 
    • Aeronautical,
    • Electrical and
    • Mechanical.
