Program Admission & Progression

Admission to a Master's degree normally requires an undergraduate Honours degree or equivalent; admission to a Graduate Diploma normally requires an undergraduate degree; admission to a Graduate Certificate normally requires the equivalent of an undergraduate degree. In all cases, relevant professional experience can assist with meeting admission requirements.

It is possible to progress from a Graduate Certificate to a Graduate Diploma, and from a Graduate Diploma to a Master's degree. In certain circumstances, and with good academic performance, this progression can be accelerated. For further information and details of admission and progression requirements, see the Fenner School Graduate Handbook, the ANU Graduate Research website (for research students) and the ANU Science Graduate Coursework pages (for coursework students).
