Admission criteria

Applicants are required to have an undergraduate degree from a recognised Australian tertiary institution or a qualification deemed to be equivalent. Applicants with other academic and/or professional qualifications and/or work experience acceptable to the University will be considered.

Credit for previous study

Credit up to a maximum of five subjects of the 12 subject course, may be given to a student who has completed equivalent study at Masters level at a recognised tertiary institution.

Exemptions

Exemption from a subject may be granted where a student has passed at an appropriate level a subject substantially similar in content to a subject of the Masters course, but has not claimed or been granted a credit. An alternative subject from the Master of Business program will be taken as a substitute. Exemption (and consequent substitution) occurs to prevent repetition of study of a subject area. Exemption does not reduce the number of subjects needed to complete the course requirements.

Course requirements

To graduate, students must complete a total of 12 compulsory subjects including a final session research project.
