Packaged offers

Diplomas

Prerequisites for the packaged Diploma courses are identical to those required by the standalone Diploma courses.

Bachelor degrees

Admission into the Bachelor’s component of the packaged offers is conditional on passing all Diploma subjects.

You can defer the commencement of your Bachelor’s degree, but you must commence in the first available intake period no more than 12 months after the successful completion of your Diploma.

Both the Diploma and Bachelor’s degrees in undergraduate packages are offered to domestic students as Commonwealth-supported places (CSP) – which means that your spot is subsidised by the Australian Government.

1. Undergraduate packaged offers are only available to domestic applicants.
2. Admission into the Bachelor’s component of the packaged offer is conditional on passing all Diploma subjects.
3. Upon successful completion of the Diploma, you’re eligible for a place in a pre-selected Bachelor’s degree with advanced standing of up to one year of full-time study.

8. Students must complete the Diploma component of the packaged offer within two years from commencement to be eligible for entry into the associated undergraduate component of the packaged offer.

Undergraduate degrees

Prerequisites for the packaged undergraduate courses are usually identical to those of the standalone Bachelor’s degrees. However, some admissions criteria – such as a higher ATAR – may vary due to the high demand for these courses.

Postgraduate degrees

Once you’ve completed the undergraduate degree, admission into the postgraduate course is dependent on you meeting the minimum published selection and admission criteria for that course.

You can defer commencement of your postgraduate degree, but you must commence in the first available intake period no more than 12 months after the completion of your undergraduate degree.⁷

The undergraduate component of the package is offered to domestic students as a Commonwealth-supported place (CSP) – which means that your spot is subsidised by the Australian Government.

The postgraduate Master of Teaching has a limited number of CSPs available. Students entering into a packaged Master of Teaching may be eligible for CSP (subject to availability). Students offered a CSP for the postgraduate course will not be eligible for any discounts.

Eligible students offered a full-fee paying place will receive a discount of up to 30% on the postgraduate course fees.^{5, 6}
