Unless otherwise indicated, ANU will accept all Australian Qualifications Framework qualifications or international equivalents that meet or exceed the published admission requirements of our programs, provided all other admission requirements are also met. Where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will base assessment on the qualification that best meets the admission requirements for the program.

Applicants without bachelor degree minimum GPA

Applicants who do not have a bachelor degree or international equivalent with the required GPA may enter the program with evidence of at least five years of work experience, including a minimum of three years of management experience.

Applicants must provide a curriculum vitae (CV) including employment history (duties, responsibilities, hours, name and nature of employer) and the contact details of two referees. Upload your CV, including the contact details of two referees from your workplace(s), as a PDF within the UAC application.

Contact the College if you have any queries regarding the application requirements.

GPA calculation

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.
