Entry requirements
For international students
Four year (or comparable) undergraduate degree in a related field from a recognized post-secondary institution with a minimum GPA of ‘B+ (3.33/4.33). Normally, a minimum of three years of professional experience. FLEXIBLE ADMISSION While an undergraduate degree in a relevant field of study is recommended, applicants may be assessed for admission on the basis of their skills, knowledge and background developed outside traditional learning structures. This flexible admissions approach opens doors to higher learning for qualified candidates who otherwise might not meet traditional admission requirements, and thereby serves the needs of a diverse group of students.
*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
