Entry Requirements
Generally, the admission to postgraduate coursework degrees requires a completed undergraduate degree in a relevant field of study from a recognised tertiary institution. Selection is based on academic merit and applicants with a good first degree have excellent prospects of being accepted.
For admission to any program, all students must first meet the UNSW English Language Requirements - UNSW website

| PGC Entry Requirements | |
|---|---|
| Qualification | |
| A | A recognised four-year Bachelor degree in an appropriate area of engineering. |
| B | A recognised four-year Bachelor degree in engineering or science. For the MIT and GradDipIT, the degree must have included mathematics up to at least year 2 level. For the MBiomedE, a background of study in either medical/biological science or engineering/physical science is required. For the MSc and MScExt in Food Science and Technology, the degree must have involved some basic studies in chemistry, microbiology and biochemistry (chemistry not being required for the Food Safety and Quality plan). |
| C | A recognised three-year Bachelor degree in an appropriate discipline. For the GradCert in Computing, the degree must have been in engineering or science. For the GradDip in Food Technology, the degree must have been in science. |
| D | Two-year formal technical education from a recognised institution in a related industry (equivalent to a standard Australian TAFE degree). |
| Grade requirement | |
| All programs require an Honours II/2 or equivalent, or a high credit average (min 65%) over the fi nal two years of the Bachelor degree, as appropriate. For the GradCert in GMP, Honours is not required. | |
| Experience requirement | |
| E | Subject to the approval by the Head of School, those with significant relevant professional experience but limited formal tertiary qualifications may be admitted. For the GradCert in Computing, applicants must demonstrate a minimum of five years' work experience in an appropriate area of engineering or science. For the GradCert in Mining Engineering, admission is considered on an individual basis, based on the level of experience within the mining industry. For the GradCert in GMP, formal technical work in a related industry or engineering of more than a year is required for applicants with a three-year degree, and of more than five years for applicants with two-year formal technical training. |
