Entry requirements

International entry requirements

The entry requirement is successful completion of a degree that is the equivalent of an Australian bachelors degree, not necessarily in an IT-related discipline.

To be competitive for selection, normally a Pass (50%) average is required. The applicant's entire academic record can be taken into consideration when assessing eligibility for the course.

Selection officers will consider the applicant's range of studies, and can place greater importance on studies which demonstrate ability to progress satisfactorily in an IT degree.

National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (AEI-NOOSR) guidelines on equivalency to Australian bachelor degrees will apply.

English requirements for international students

IELTS 6.5 overall with no band lower than 6.0; TOEFL 580 with a TWE of 4.5; or an Internet-based TOEFL score of 90 with 22 in Writing and no section lower than 20.
