Entry requirements

Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.

Postgraduate entry

  • Applicants are required to: Hold a recognized bachelor degree (or above) in engineering or science in a congruent field of practice*, Have completed the equivalent of first-year Bachelor level mathematics, or are able to demonstrate recognized relevant work experience. Have an appropriate level of English Language Proficiency at an English pass level in an Australian Senior Certificate of Education, or an IELTS score of 6.0 (with no individual band less than 6.0)**, or equivalent as outlined in the EIT Admissions Policy . Applicants who hold a bachelor’s degree in a non-congruent engineering field are required to demonstrate their prior learning and experience is equivalent to the entry requirements (exact positions and roles that will be considered relevant are to be decided by each specialisation and will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the EIT Admissions Committee). Applicants who do not hold a recognized bachelor’s degree are required to demonstrate their prior learning and experience is equivalent to this qualification. A minimum of an Australian Advanced Diploma (or equivalent) in Engineering and 10 years of technical work experience at a technologist level or above in a relevant engineering field is required for an application to be considered (exact positions and roles that will be considered relevant are to be decided by each specialization and will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the EIT Admissions Committee)***. *Congruent field of practice means one of the following with adequate Mechanical Engineering content: Mechanical Engineering Mechanical and Material Systems Mechatronic Systems Production Engineering Robotics Manufacturing and Management Systems Industrial Automation Engineering Instrumentation, Control, and Automation **Applicants may have a maximum of one individual band of 5.5 and be granted entry subject to the provision of English language support by EIT *** Applicants who enter and complete this qualification without holding a prior Bachelor’s Degree and go on to complete an EIT Masters Degree may not be eligible for Engineers Australia recognition. However, students can lodge a personal application with Engineers Australia to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
