Entry requirements

• There are no mandated entry requirements.

To be eligible for academic entry, applicants need to have achieved one of the following results in English:

• English Standard: B5
• English as an Additional Language or Dialect: B5
• English Advanced: B4
• English Extension 1: E2
• English Extension 2: E2
• Any other Cat A Subject: B4
• Any Other Extension Subject: E2

If you have recently completed Year 12 studies, and you apply to Macquarie through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC), you’ll be assessed on your selection rank or through our Academic Entry Program. Additionally, you may consider applying for the following schemes if eligible:

• Macquarie Leaders and Achievers Early Entry Scheme
• Schools Recommendation Scheme
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Entry Pathway

If you’re a non-Year 12 applicant and you don’t hold any formal education qualifications, but you do have informal learning and work experience, you may submit a portfolio for entry into one of our pathway programs. These programs allow you to articulate into a Macquarie degree after successful completion.

Macquarie recognises completed TAFE, college, and university qualifications. If you’ve completed a recognised qualification, you may be eligible to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
