Postgraduate admission requirements

Coursework Masters

Students are required to hold a degree considered by the University to be equivalant to an Australian Bachelor degree. For an MBA a minimum of one year of professional work experience is also required. Students without a degree but with substantial relevant work experience may be admitted to a Graduate Diploma or Masters.

Higher degree by research

Postgraduate research at the University is referred to as higher degree by research (HDR) study. It does not include coursework; rather, the candidate selects a research topic which is of particular relevance to his or her professional and/or personal interests. SCU offers a range of research capabilities and can provide supervision in these areas.
