Applications are considered on a rolling basis and eligible applicants will receive an offer immediately. Due to the limited places in our course, some applicants will be notified and placed on a waitlist to be assessed in a selection round once all applications have been received.

Advanced Standing for business degrees

The Master of International Business and the Master of Management suite offer foundational business courses where students can build a strong skillset across business disciplines.

Applicants with an undergraduate degree in business/commerce or a related discipline, or an undergraduate degree in any discipline with appropriate business breadth study or a business minor, may be awarded up to 50 points of Advanced Standing.

Students with business degrees may be eligible for either the 150 or 200 point program and should indicate on their application their preferred duration to ensure that their outcome is not delayed. Applicants who do not receive an offer for the 150 point program but are eligible for the 200 point program will be automatically assessed and made an offer.
