TAFE studies

Due to strong competition for places, students who have completed Certificate or diploma-level TAFE courses are unlikely to be offered a place. VCE studies undertaken at TAFE will be considered. The faculty requires high achievement in VCE Chemistry, English (either), and Mathematical Methods (CAS). Studies in VCE Biology and/or Physics are also recommended.

In considering applicants for admission, the faculty will only consider studies completed no more than 10 years prior to admission.

University studies

Preference is given to applicants who have completed the equivalent of a full year of study in an undergraduate degree (e.g. science or biomedical science). A high level of academic achievement at tertiary level should be demonstrated. Prerequisite studies in Chemistry, English and Mathematics can be met at either the VCE or tertiary level. In considering applicants for admission, the faculty will only consider studies completed no more than 10 years prior to admission.
