ANU uses a 7-point grade point average (GPA) scale. All qualifications submitted for admission at ANU will be converted to this common scale, which will determine if an applicant meets our published admission requirements. Find out how a 7-point GPA is calculated for Australian universities.
Unless otherwise indicated, where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will calculate the GPA for each qualification separately. ANU will base assessment on the best GPA of all completed tertiary qualifications that are eligible to be considered.
For information about course credit for previous studies, see the program entry or read about course credit or exemption on the ANU website.
Students must have the approval of an identified supervisor for the research project to continue to the research component of this advanced master degree. Students who do not have the written agreement of an identified supervisor, or whose agreed supervisor either subsequently leaves the University or is on leave from the University, will be transferred to the regular master version of this program.
