1 Average of the best five calculated based on the ‘Official Mark’ of the final year subjects as shown on the transcript.
2 English language requirement can be satisfied by passing the English Language Arts 30-1 or 30-2, if taught in Canada. Students completing the program outside Canada must meet the University’s English language requirements by achieving the required score in an approved English proficiency test such as TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge or Pearson Test of English.
3 Applicants intending to major in Civil Systems, Computing, Construction, Mechanical Systems, Property or Spatial Systems may be required to undertake a bridging subject in mathematics as breadth in first year. This is equivalent to Units 3 and 4 Mathematical Methods, and entry requires a mathematics background equivalent to Units 1 and 2 Mathematical Methods.
4 Admissions is based on either a portfolio or audition and completion of high school. Applicants must be qualified for University entry and have satisfied the course-specific extra requirements.
For all other English-speaking Canadian provinces, minimum entry scores and prerequisite subject requirements are similar to the published British Columbia and Ontario Secondary School Diploma requirements. The University of Melbourne does not recognise the Quebec CEGEP qualification for admissions to its bachelors degrees.
