    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Qualifications

    Successful completion of:

    • the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or its equivalent, such as an interstate qualification or International Baccalaureate.

    Non-Year 12 qualifications, Foundation Year and qualifications undertaken overseas will not be accepted.

    Guaranteed Entry ATAR

    75.0

    Lowest ATAR to receive an offer in 2025 [after adjustment factors]

    76.1

    You’ll be guaranteed a place in this course if you meet or exceed the ATAR Guaranteed Entry Score, provided you meet the course prerequisites.

    If your ATAR is below the guaranteed entry score, you can still be offered a place as your ATAR may be adjusted based on subject adjustments, equity schemes or other factors.

    Subject adjustments:

    • A study score of 25 in any Mathematics, Physical Education or any Science equals 2 aggregate points per study.
    • A study score of 30 in any Mathematics, Physical Education or any Science equals 3 aggregate points per study.

    Overall maximum of 15 points. Subject adjustment points are applied to the aggregate, not the ATAR.

    Students admitted to the course with prior tertiary studies that satisfy part of the academic requirements of this course may be eligible for academic credit.

    *Applicants without a formal qualification but with significant and relevant work experience will be considered if they can demonstrate that they can undertake the course with a reasonable prospect of success.

    Successful completion of Australian Year 12 or equivalent overseas qualification.


    This will be assessed at the time of your application. To check your eligibility for this course, visit our entry requirements for international students page.
