Entrance requirements
Undergraduate
The general criterion for consideration for entry to a
Swinburne course is Swinburne's assessment of an
applicant's ability to complete a chosen course.
1. To satisfy the general entrance requirements and to be
3 considered for admission to the first year of a degree or
diploma coune a student must have satisfactorily
completed the VCE including the satisfactory completion
of the work requirements in 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of a place withdrawn.
For the Eastern Campus at Lilydale, preference may be
given to applicants from the outer eastern metropolitan
region of Melbourne.
2. In addition to meeting the general requirements above,
applicants must also satisfy any prerequisite or special
requirements specified by the faculty conducting the
course and listed in the Swinburne Handbook.
3. Each faculty 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
potent~al to successfully complete the course concerned.
Postgraduate
Applicants for admission to postgraduate courses normally
are expected to have completed a degree or diploma.
The specific requirements vary from coune to course: some
are open to those with any tertiary qualifications, others may
require a qualification in a specific discipline or range of
disciplines.
Provision is made for admission of applicants who have
qualifications other than or less than the normal
requirements outlined above but whose employment
positions or experience indicates an ability to benefit from
the course.
Requirements for specified courses are set out in the relevant
faculty sections.
