Entry Requirements for the University of Sydney JD Program

To be eligible to apply to the Sydney Law School JD, you must have the following:

• Completed an undergraduate degree;
• Achieved a minimum cumulative grade point average (cGPA) of at least 3.0/4.0

The university recommends that you apply for this program if you have achieved a minimum cGPA of 3.0/4.0. Please note that this is a minimum average to be eligible to apply and that your application outcome will be determined by the Sydney Law School. Successful applicants who receive an offer of admission to the JD program normally achieve a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. As a Canadian, please remember there is no standardized GPA scale used by Canadian universities. A 3.0 is normally a B, but it is difficult to pinpoint the minimum percentage grade required for entry into this program, as grading systems differ at post-secondary institutions in Canada.
In addition to your undergraduate university transcripts, you may also submit your high school transcript for assessment. If you submit both your undergraduate and your high school transcripts for assessment, you will be assessed on the basis of 25% recognized high school qualification + 75% tertiary grade point average for a completed degree.
