Most admissions for coursework degrees are granted based on the successful completion of a bachelor’s degree, however your academic performance or grades may also be taken into consideration for some postgraduate courses.
You can still apply for certain postgraduate courses even if you haven’t completed an undergraduate degree.
We’ll consider non-tertiary qualifications plus paid work experience or professional memberships as the equivalent to a bachelor’s degree for postgraduate entry if you have:
completed an Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree plus 4 years full-time paid work experience at managerial or professional level or a professional membership
completed a Diploma plus 8 years full-time paid work experience at managerial or professional level or a professional membership
completed Year 12 or a Certificate IV plus 10 years full-time paid work experience at managerial or professional level or a professional membership.
Professional memberships must be of an appropriate, recognised professional body in one of the following fields: pharmacy, accounting, speech therapy, urban and regional planning, occupational therapy, actuarial studies, physiotherapy, engineering, law or surveying.
Academic IELTS of 6.0 or equivalent, with no band score below 6.0
Applicants must have a three-year degree in education or relevant field as approved by the University.
