Entry requirements

For international students

Applicants must present a Bachelor degree or international equivalent

with a minimum GPA of at least 5.5/7.0
with at least 6 courses in a cognate discipline, which must also have a minimum GPA of 5.5/7.0.

The GPA requirement for this program must be met by both the program as a whole, as well as by the 6 courses in a cognate discipline. Where more than 6 cognate courses have been completed by the applicant, ANU will take the best 6 courses when assessing the cognate GPA.

The GPA for a Bachelor program will be calculated from (i) a completed Bachelor degree using all grades and/or (ii) a completed Bachelor degree using all grades other than those from the last semester (or equivalent study period) of the Bachelor degree. The higher of the two calculations will be used as the basis for admission.
