  • Diverse intake: Our students come from over 100 different schools and universities from every state and territory in Australia.
  • Our student intake consists of approximately a quarter each of the following groups: Melbourne, rural and regional Victoria and Australia, interstate and overseas.
  • The College is close to 50/50 men/women, although we usually have slightly more female applicants and slightly more female first year students; this reflects the stronger numbers of female students accepted to The University of Melbourne.

How to Apply

Financial Assistance

More than 30% of Ormond students receive some form of financial assistance. For first year students, financial assistance includes scholarships and bursaries.

Financial assistance can be awarded based on a number of criteria, including academic excellence, personal background (i.e. Indigenous, rural), degree to be studied, or leadership potential. All scholarships & bursaries are means tested.

Application Process

  • Students can apply to Ormond for the Semester 1 or Semester 2 intake.  The largest intake is in Semester 1 but there are often over 30 places available in Semester 2.
  • Applications to Ormond always exceed the places available, however, this should not discourage students from applying.  We do, however, always advise students to have some alternative accommodation options organised.
  • The Colleges share an online application process via the Intercollegiate website. See the full details of Ormond’s application process.

Selection Process

The Selection Committee, made up of the Master and the Executive Team, carefully review each application and take into account many factors, such as the student interview, individual fit with Ormond, course, location (origin), school and family association. All applicants to Ormond College are offered an interview.  This is an important element of the selection process and is conducted using a carefully developed standardised process, ensuring equity to every applicant.
