We believe quality education should be accessible to all, which is why we have over $1 million in funding through our university partners.
You can view a list of available funding here.
OS-HELP is a Commonwealth Government loan scheme that can financially assist eligible students (Australian citizen OR Permanent Humanitarian Visa holder OR New Zealand Special Category Visa holder). OS-HELP may be used to cover expenses such as airfares, accommodation, and other travel or settling expenses. To view the eligibility requirements and instructions on how to apply, please check your university's website.
You can find a list of courses that have previously been pre-approved for HEX Ed and HEX International here. Please check with your Global Mobility/Study Abroad office and your Study or Course Coordinator to check if you're eligible.
Not at all! In the past, HEX applicants have also been early-stage founders (mainly pre-seed), corporate innovators, and side-hustlers.

There's absolutely no expectation for you to have a business/start up idea! After all, that's what the whole program is for! We do, however, recommend that you start thinking about your passion, interests & problems beforehand as it'll make brainstorming a bit easier!
We are looking at you as a person not as a piece of paper, so our application process is different to most. Rather than GPA, we look for curiosity, passion, resilience, evidence of action, empathy, adaptability, and of course 'HEXiness'.
In your application, just be your awesome self. If you are a university student, your university may have their own eligibility requirements (for participation, funding, etc)
The video submission for the application is a short and sweet 30 seconds (max) clip that you can record on your phone or laptop. It gives us the opportunity to hear more about why the program is good for you (and why you are good for the program).
If you are asked by your university to provide proof of enrollment, follow these steps to capture the details about the date you were enrolled.
We have a rolling intake, so you can enrol at any time. This means that no matter where you're studying or what calendar you follow, you can join HEX. Our application process is designed to be as quick as possible and takes less than 2 minutes. We recommend starting with our YOU unit for a seamless experience. Sign up here.
Although, we are university-aligned, we are not a substitute for university. With HEX Ed, you will learn and develop several transferable skills which you can then for your future career. HEX also gives you access to sought-after mentors and industry connections that you can leverage for an internship or job
We don't go the traditional route when it comes to assessments. The first "assessment" is a self-reflection to set the tone and intention for each unit. Each unit has a few checkpoints and there is no word-limit to any of them.
Each checkpoint is unlocked when you cover the content before it. There is no time limit to complete the checkpoint but you can't move ahead unless it's been graded by one of our HEX assessors and you get a pass grade.
If you ever get stuck or need help, come to one of our drop-in sessions that happen every Tuesday and Thursday!
Social activities include study groups, chill sessions, Q&As and much more. These are online to accommodate students from different time zones.We do have general HEX events that happen in-person in Melbourne. Our newsletter and socials have the lowdown on all things HEX!
You can get a copy of the Syllabus here.
Absolutely none! Which means you can get started right away!
Yes. HEX Ed is a great option for advanced high school students or students looking to take a gap year. It's also a way to get university-equivalent academic credit, as each HEX Ed unit is designed for an undergraduate degree level.
It's entirely self-paced with live elements which will support students from any timezone. We'll have online events, mentor hours, etc for students across multiple time zones. Designed to suit a gap year, a student with work/family commitments, or an early professional looking to level up.
