Alternative entry Students who have proceeded through the admissions process and have not been offered a place in their nominated course are encouraged to consider an alternative entry pathway. Successful completion of any of the following programs/methods will allow prospective students to reapply for entry to their course of choice and in some cases entry can be guaranteed subject to meeting prescribed levels of achievement.
Postgraduate Entry into the Master of Business Administration or Master of Business normally requires the equivalent of an Australian Bachelors degree as well as at least two years of work experience in a management capacity. Prospective students who do not meet these requirements can consider enrolling in the Graduate Certificate of Business. Upon successful completion of this semester of study with a distinction average across all subjects, students can then transfer into the MBA or MBus programs.
Special consideration Applicants may be considered for special consideration or recognition of prior learning which may allow them admission to the course of choice even though the academic entry requirements have been met. This normally occurs in cases where an applicant has other forms of post-secondary achievement and study (for example, professional qualifications). Please submit details of this with your application.
Applicants who are currently in Australia Prospective students who are currently studying at another Australian educational institution and are planning on continuing study at Notre Dame should apply directly through the Notre Dame International Education Office as per the procedure for all international students. Issuing of Confirmation of Enrolments (CoE's) and other visa and health requirements is administered by the Notre Dame International Education Office.
A student visa is required for study in Australia. The Notre Dame International Education Office or a designated Notre Dame representative will issue a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) when you have:
accepted a formal offer of a place at the University of Notre Dame Australia
satisfied any conditions of that offer
paid the fees outlined in the invoice sent with the Letter of Offer
The visa application process can be lengthy and applications should be submitted as early as possible. Further information on visa application procedures can be obtained from the nearest Australian diplomatic post or from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC). We encourage applicants to apply well in advance of the intended start date, and certainly not less than eight weeks prior to the start of the study semester.
