Applicants holding an honours degree (level 8 or equivalent) in any discipline are eligible for direct access to the programme. In addition, applicants with level 7 degree in a cognate area (e.g. Computer Science/IT, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Information Systems, Accounting) are also considered for direct access into the programme. For other non-standard applications the College operates a Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) scheme, meaning applicants who do not meet the normal academic entry requirements may be considered based on relevant work or other experience. Typically, holders of more technical and numerate degrees or candidates that are able to demonstrate technical or mathematical problem-solving skills are likely to gain a higher ranking in the selection for the course. Non-English-speaking applicants must demonstrate fluency in English evidenced by an IELTS academic score of at least 6.0 or equivalent.
