Entry requirements
Requirements:
- Undergraduate degree of 3 years minimum in a relevant area (see below), either from the University of Melbourne, another Australian institution, or a university in another country, with a minimum of a credit average (GPA equivalent of 65% at the University of Melbourne). Note that a credit average does not guarantee a place in the course, a place will depend upon student demand.
- Minimum of one of the following relevant areas taken at a third year university level
- Commerce
- Mathematics and/or Physics
- Computer Science or Information Systems
- International students must demonstrate proficiency in English either through IELTS score (minimum score requirement of 7.0 overall with no individual score less than 6.5) or TOEFL IBT score (minimum of 90 and a written score minimum of 24).
- Interviews will be required for applicants who are shortlisted.
- GMAT scores may be required if a University of Melbourne credit average equivalence is difficult to obtain.
Justification: This course integrates high-level data analysis, computer programming, and business applications, and therefore is likely to be challenging for students who do not have a minimum GPA of 65%. The business application component requires students to be good communicators in English, and as such, the requirement of minimum TOEFL score or equivalent is equally important. The intensive nature and technical material of the course means that students need to have theoretical and technical knowledge in at least one of the relevant subject areas as described above.
Melbourne Business School will run preparation courses prior to the commencement of the program for those students who are accepted into the program and wish to improve their knowledge in two of the relevant areas.
