International entry requirements

2013 international qualification entry requirements and scores for this course are available from the Undergraduate Qualifications Database.

Equivalent Australian Year 12 OR to be eligible for an external transfer OR internal transfer, students must have:

(1) completed one or more years of a recognised tertiary degree (ie. a minimum of 48 credit points) and

(2) achieved a credit average or better (65%+) across all university units for an international full-fee place.
