Rosedale is the first international secondary school to establish an accelerated admissions submission process to The University of Queensland for students earning their Ontario Secondary School Diploma at a Rosedale Global High School partner school across 17 countries. Rosedale International Education is proud to announce that as of June 20, 2023 Rosedale Global High School and The University of Queensland (UQ) have launched an application submission process for Rosedale Global High School graduates applying to study at UQ.

This marks a significant milestone in Rosedale’s collaboration with Australia's higher education community and the reputation of Rosedale Global High School's Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) Program. As the first Canadian secondary school that has established the accelerated admission submission process with a school-dedicated application portal, Rosedale Global High School continues to be trusted as a leader in both academic excellence and student success, by the world’s most prestigious universities.

Anthony Craig, Regional Manager (Europe, The Americas & Study Abroad) at The University of Queensland says, “The University of Queensland welcomes students from Rosedale Global High School to apply to The University of Queensland. We also look forward to continuing to develop a strong relationship between our respective institutions.”

Rosedale Global High School students pursuing admission to The University of Queensland will submit applications via a dedicated application portal. The Guidance Department at Rosedale Global High School will work together with The University of Queensland to streamline the admissions process and ensure unconditional offers and Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) are available to our graduates in an expedited manner so they can commence the next steps and start their journey abroad sooner.

Marilyn Mason, Senior Executive of Higher Education Relations at Rosedale International Education says, “With a sharp increase of interest in programs from leading Australian universities, coupled with The University of Queensland reporting a significant rise in applications from prospective international students this academic year, now is a great time for Rosedale Global High School graduates to have access to this opportunity.”

Recognition of Rosedale Global High School alongside a Top 50 University, coupled with a streamlined process for our global student body is a privilege and milestone for the Rosedale Global High School community. We look forward to continuing our upward trajectory of cultivating growth from high school to higher education and supporting our Rosedale Global High School partner school network and it’s more than 4,000 global students to design their future and reach their full potential at leading universities.
