To be considered, applicants who have completed VCE or its equivalent and who are applying with:

a science-based diploma will require average results of at least 60% (70% to be considered for BA/BSc and BSc/BCompSc, and 80% to be considered for BScAdv(Hons))

a non-science-based diploma will require average results of at least 70% (80% to be considered for BA/BSc and BSc/BCompSc).

Applicants who have not completed VCE but have completed:

a science-based diploma will require average results of at least 70% (80% to be considered for BA/BSc and BSc/BCompSc)

a non-science-based diploma will require average results of at least 80%.

TAFE Certificate graduates

Science-based certificate-level studies will be considered where the applicant has average results of 80% or above. For applicants who have also completed VCE, both qualifications will be considered. No credit is granted for these studies.

University

Two single units satisfy minimum entry requirements, but more units may be useful for selection, especially in science areas. Applicants for the single degree programs, except BScAdv(Hons), should have at least a 60% average in their studies. Applicants for science double degree programs should have at least a 70% average in their studies.

Those without Year 12 prerequisites for particular courses need to complete units that correspond to these prerequisites (eg Mathematics Methods for Science/Computer Science).

These studies need to have been completed no more than five years prior to admission.
