Entrance requirements
The general criterion for consideration for entry to a

applicant's ability to complete a chosen course.
1. To satisfy the general entrance requirements and to be
considered for admission to the first year of a degree or
diploma course a student must have satisfactorily
completed the VCE including the satisfactory
completion of the work requirements ir. Units 3 and 4
of English.
Any person offered a place at Swinburne may be
required to present for a fluency test in the English
language. Applicants found to be below the necessary
standard in this test may be required to undertake a
remedial English course concurrently with their
undergraduate course or may have their provisional
offer of a place withdrawn.
2. In addition to meeting the general requirements above,
applicants must also satisfy any prerequisite or special
requirements specified by the division conducting the
course and listed in the Swinburne Handbook.
3. Each division may specify criteria for special entry
schemes, covering applicants who may not hold the
necessary formal entry qualifications but who in the
course selection officer's view have the motivation and
potential to successfully complete the course concerned.
Other qualifications
~~~licants must have a qualification deemed to be the
eauivalent of VCE bv the Victorian Curriculum and
Assessment Board. Such qualifications may include interstate
and overseas qualifications and associate diploma studies at a
TAFE institution.
