How you're selected

Undergraduate study

Assessors will look at a range of factors, from your eligibility to apply to meeting course requirements and subject prerequisites.

Different entry scores will apply depending on the type of study you've done. Applicants aged under 17 at the following dates after the commencement of study (31 March for start year intake or 31 August for mid-year intake) may be required to attend an interview to determine whether their age may adversely affect their ability to successfully undertake the course.

For some qualifications indicative entry scores are available but entry is not guaranteed. These scores will give you an idea of how likely you are to receive an offer.

See indicative entry scores by qualification and country

Study you've completed after secondary or high school may qualify you for entry. You still need to satisfy the minimum requirements for entry including the prerequisites for your preferred course.

If you're eligible for entry, and have successfully completed learning at a similar level and standard, you may also be eligible for admission with credit.

As a guide, a minimum average of 70% or equivalent, is required for entry based on study completed at university level. The levels of performance required may be higher and may vary by course. Entry is not guaranteed.

See Entry from specific programs of post-secondary study

As well as meeting minimum entry scores, you'll need to satisfy published prerequisites. You can find these on every course page. Some courses will also have auditions, interviews, portfolios and supplementary tests you may need to take.

Selection officers will look at the results of these additional requirements when assessing your application.
If you don't satisfy the prerequisites, there are additional ways you can do this.

If the subject or qualification you have completed, or intend on completing, does not appear, please ensure you submit a detailed syllabus or subject outline with your course application.

The selection process

Your selection ranking

You need to achieve at least the required scores set for entry, as well as meet minimum entry requirements.

Other criteria looked at

We also look at the completion of prerequisite subjects, portfolio assessments, work and life experience, previous non-secondary study and results of special admissions or supplementary tests.

How ranking is given

You'll be ranked in order of merit as measured against these criteria. The highest achieving applicants are chosen first until the quota of places available in the course are filled.

If you’re studying A Levels or the IB and don't have your results yet, forecast results can be accepted for entry into most Melbourne undergraduate courses if you’re studying at an approved school. You'll need to meet the following requirements:

Applicants must have a predicted grade in prerequisite subjects at a level at or above the currently approved requirement for entry. Applicants must have a predicted grade at least equal to the guaranteed entry score for the course for which they have applied.

The predicted grade in prerequisite subjects must be at or above the level currently approved for entry and the total predicted IB score must be at least 2 points higher than the approved guaranteed entry score. For IB students, you can choose to have your IB results sent directly to the University as soon as they are released.
