Eligibility

Entry Requirements

General Requirements

English (Units 3 & 4, C) or equivalent; General Mathematics (Units 3 & 4, C) or equivalent

English Language Proficiency Requirements:

If you were not born in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa or the United States of America you are required to meet the English Language Proficiency requirements set by the University. Applicants are required to provide evidence of completion within the last 10 years of:

A secondary qualification (Year 11 and 12, or equivalent), or
A completed Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Diploma level qualification; or
Bachelor level qualification study for a period of at least 2 years full-time with a minimum overall GPA 4.0

Completed in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa or the United States of America, which will meet the English proficiency.

If you do not satisfy any of the above you will need to undertake an English language proficiency test and achieve the following scores:

An International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic) overall band score of at least 6.5, with a minimum 6.0 in each subset; or
An Occupational English Test with Grades A or B only in each of the four components; or
Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) - Requires an overall score of 62 with no sub-score less than 54; or
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) iBT – 79 or better overall and no score less than 21

English test results remain valid for no more than two years between final examination date and the date of commencement of study, and must appear on a single result certificate.

If you are an International student please visit International students English requirements for further information.

Each student will be assessed individually.

Domestic students:

Minimum rank threshold: ATAR 72 | Selection Rank 72. This is the minimum eligible rank for entry to this course; achieving it does not guarantee a place, as entry may be competitive.
Your entry score is an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) if you are completing or have recently completed Year 12, or a Selection Rank calculated from prior VET or higher education study, or from work and life experience.
Recommended study: Physics, Mathematical Methods, Design

International students:

International applicants are assessed on their overseas secondary or tertiary qualifications rather than on an ATAR or Selection Rank, and must meet the English language proficiency requirements below.
If you do not meet the entry requirements, CQUniversity offers English language and alternative entry pathways.
