Applicants should have a performance average of 65% or better (or equivalent) over the last two years of the bachelor degree. For equivalent overseas qualifications, the relative standing of the university may be taken into consideration. As an indication, equivalent overseas grades include a GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or a first class degree.

Applicants who fail to meet the academic entry requirement may be considered for entry if they can demonstrate at least one year of full-time relevant work experience which was undertaken after graduation from the degree.

Admission is not automatic and is at the discretion of the Dean.

Enrolment for commencement in Semester 2 (July) is only approved by the Coordinator of the program after consideration of the candidate's academic background because certain courses assume prerequisite knowledge.
