- an undergraduate degree in any discipline with at least an H2B (70%) weighted average; and
- native speaker competence in one of English or either Chinese or Spanish (depending on the specialisation concerned) and at least near-native competence in the other language
Meeting these requirements does not guarantee selection.

- relevance of previous studies.
3. The Selection Committee may seek further information to clarify any aspect of an application in accordance with the Academic Board rules on the use of selection instruments.
