domestic Students

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR DOMESTIC APPLICANTS

All domestic applicants must:

be at least 18 years of age at the time of course commencement; and
satisfy the criteria in one of the categories listed below.

Applicants with recent secondary education (within the last two years)

BBS will consider domestic applicants who hold a formal qualification considered equivalent to an Australian Year 12 qualification with an ATAR rank of 60 equivalent.

Applicants with higher education study

BBS will consider domestic applicants who have successfully completed at least one year of a higher education course at an Australian higher education provider (at Australian Qualification Framework level 7) within the last 10 years. Credit may be granted where applicants have completed unit(s) at a similar level at an Australian higher education provider.

Applicants with VET study

BBS will consider domestic applicants who have successfully completed any Vocational Education and Training (VET) course within the last five years since leaving school may be eligible for admission. The VET course must be at least Certificate IV level or higher from an Australian Registered Training Organisation (or equivalent) or a higher education provider.

Applicants with work and life experience

BBS will consider domestic applicants who have appropriate work and life experience. BBS will review applications on a case-by-case basis from domestic applicants who do not have formal qualifications for entry but who seek admission to courses on the basis of their educational and skills development through experience and informal study. Applicants who wish to be considered in this category must provide extensive evidence in support of their application.

In an event where applicants are not able to provide necessary documentation, applicants may be required to sit Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT). This test is administered by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). This will need to be approved by the Dean on the case-by-case basis. You can view a full list of upcoming STAT sittings on the ACER website.
