Entry requirements (year 12)

Entry requirements (non year 12)

The entry requirement is successful completion of a degree that is the equivalent of a Bachelor degree, not necessarily in an IT-related discipline. The applicant's entire academic record can be taken into consideration when assessing eligibility for the course.

Selection officers will consider the applicant's range of studies, and can place greater importance on studies which demonstrate ability to progress satisfactorily in an IT degree.
