• In order to be considered for entry, you must have completed an undergraduate degree with a major in a relevant discipline (agricultural science, biological science, chemistry, Earth science, ecosystem science, environmental engineering, environmental science, forestry, geography, mathematics and statistics or physics) with a weighted average mark (WAM) of at least 65 per cent.

• Meeting these requirements does not guarantee selection.

• In ranking applications, the Selection Committee will consider prior academic performance.

• The Selection Committee may seek further information to clarify any aspect of an application in accordance with the Academic Board rules on the use of selection instruments.

• Where our entry requirements mention a minimum WAM and subject-specific requirements, please note that these refer to University of Melbourne grades and subjects. If your previous qualifications are not from the University of Melbourne, we will assess the results of subjects that are most relevant to the course you are applying for. We may make adjustments to your final WAM depending on the accreditation of your university/institution, subject grading/scales and pass marks.
