- At least 25 credit points (two subjects) of third-year university-level chemistry subjects, of which 12.5 credit points (one subject) must be practical-based.

If the student's current English result is below the direct-entry requirement, consider the university's recognised English language pathway or ELICOS package. When the student successfully completes the approved pathway at the required level, the university may accept that pathway for English entry without requiring a new IELTS, TOEFL or PTE result.
