How to apply
1. Review entry requirements and eligibility
- Check the entry requirements tab of this course page and ensure you meet the admission criteria.
- Review the English language requirements.
- Consider whether you are eligible for Graduate Access Melbourne.
- If you are applying for multiple courses, ensure you have confirmed your preference order.
- Only submit one application per course with your preferred fee type and study load (full-time or part-time) if applicable.
- You are not required to nominate your specialisation during the application process. Please note, however, for the Educational Leadership specialisation, you are recommended to have a minimum of two years of work experience in education or a related setting (such as health and social services) before undertaking the Educational Leadership specialisation.
2. Gather your supporting documentation

Additional application considerations:
Where a course offers both Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) and Australian full fee (AF) places, you only need to submit an application for one fee type. You will automatically be considered for a CSP if you are eligible.
