  • attain a minimum sWAM of 65 for semester two of the final year of their degree; and
  • complete their bachelor's degree requirements by the end of the year prior to commencement.

Applicants who are in progress of their initial bachelor's degree and undertake a course of action that will result in receiving late results may not meet offer conditions. Care must be taken if undertaking any course of action which could delay the receipt of results or degree completion. This may include deferred/supplementary exams, undertaking units that fall outside normal semesters (e.g. summer units or trimester units) or going on exchange during the final year of study. Applicants who do not complete all requirements for their initial bachelor's degree by the 31 December deadline will have their offer withdrawn.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENT Selection WAM Calculation
WAM refers to Weighted Average Mark and is a numerical value out of 100 that is calculated from marks received in each completed unit.

For Allied Health courses with a competitive entry process the selection WAM (sWAM) will be calculated from all degree qualifications completed or due to be completed by 31 December the year prior to course commencement.

Results from any degree which will be incomplete as at 31 December of the application year will not be included in the sWAM calculation. The exception is where such studies have been applied as credit or advanced standing to a later degree which is due for completion by 31 December of the application year.

The sWAM will be determined for each included qualification and then weighted by overall duration. All marks received within or credited to a completed degree will be included, including Fail results.

All studies up to the application deadline will be included. Where an applicant qualifies for a course offer with a sWAM calculation which includes a degree due for completion by 31 December of the application year there will be a condition to meet the minimum sWAM of 65 in the final semester of study.

The sWAM will be rounded to two decimal places.

PhD holders will be automatically awarded a selection WAM of 85. This is regardless of other completed degree studies.
