Meeting these requirements does not guarantee selection.
It is a university requirement that applicants provide evidence that they meet the published entry requirements. Uncertified documentation does not provide this evidence; however we accept uncertified documents for the purpose of selection, and reserve the right to request your original certified documentation at any time.
Academic Requirements
You will have an undergraduate degree from a recognised institution, with:
- A minimum weighted average mark (WAM) of 65. As a guide, a typical student will have a WAM of greater than 70.
- Typically your undergraduate degree major or specialisation may be in either Commerce, Mathematics and/or Physics, Computer Science or Information Systems or Engineering. Given the heavy quant-based nature of the program, the primary focus will be on a student’s quantitative abilities.
- Demonstrated academic success in quantitative subjects
- A completed sequence of two or three undergraduate or graduate statistics courses that include probability theory and regression analysis, although demonstrated mathematical preparation and quantitative aptitude may be considered sufficient in some cases.
