Graduate Certificates, Graduate Diplomas and Masters Programs:

Some degrees may require work experience to meet the entry requirements. A reference or statement from the employer will be required.
Special requirements apply to the four-year Doctor of Medicine.
Masters by research:
A masters degree with a research component from an Australian university or its equivalent.
The equivalent of an Australian bachelors degree with second class honours or better (four years of study) undertaken in the field of study you intend to pursue in your proposed masters program.
