A little clarity.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • As a postgraduate example, Master of Data Science publishes a bachelor's degree with a 65% equivalent WAM plus programming, Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra prerequisites.
  • Meeting minimum criteria does not guarantee selection.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • International applicants must meet the university's English requirements using an approved test, qualifying previous study or an accepted pathway.
  • Use the exact course's current requirement and exemption rules; requirements can differ between undergraduate and graduate courses.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Bachelor of Commerce lists February and July.
  • Master of Data Science currently lists March.
  • Do not assume the same mid-year intake is available for every graduate course.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • International closing dates are course- and intake-specific.
  • Confirm the current international view on the course's How to apply page.
  • A date displayed for domestic applicants, including a domestic timely-application date, should not be reused as an international deadline.

International tuition

  • The official 2027 international fee table gives indicative first-year tuition of AUD 56,451–62,464 for Bachelor of Commerce and AUD 55,556–65,344 for Bachelor of Science.
  • These are first-year course estimates, not total-degree prices; actual charges depend on selected subjects and study load, and later-year fees may rise.

Admission planning
