Admission Requirements
Applicants must present one of the following:
- A Bachelor degree or international equivalent in a cognate disciplines with a GPA of 5/7
- A Bachelor degree or international equivalent in a cognate discipline with a GPA of 4/7 and a minimum of three years relevant work experience
The GPA for a Bachelor program will be calculated from (i) a completed Bachelor degree using all grades and/or (ii) a completed Bachelor degree using all grades other than those from the last semester (or equivalent study period) of the Bachelor degree. The higher of the two calculations will be used as the basis for admission.
Cognate Disciplines: Electrical and/or Electronics engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, Telecommunications, Mathematics, Physics, Bioinformatics, Control systems and engineering, Statistics, Artificial Intelligence, Biomedical Science, Optical Engineering.
Ranking and English language proficiency: At a minimum, all applicants must meet program-specific academic/non-academic requirements, and English language requirements. Admission to most ANU programs is on a competitive basis. Therefore, meeting all admission requirements does not automatically guarantee entry. In line with the University's admissions policy and strategic plan, an assessment for admission may include competitively ranking applicants on the basis of specific academic achievement, English language proficiency and diversity factors. Applicants will first be ranked on a GPA ('GPA1') that is calculated using all but the last semester (or equivalent) of the Bachelor degree used for admission purposes. If required, ranking may further be confirmed on the basis of:
- a GPA ('GPA2') calculated on the penultimate and antepenultimate semesters (or equivalent) of the Bachelor degree used for admission purposes; and/or
- demonstrating higher-level English language proficiency
Prior to enrolment in this ANU program, all students who gain entry will have their Bachelor degree reassessed, to confirm minimum requirements were met.
Further information: English language admission requirements and post-admission support
Diversity factors: As Australia’s national university, ANU is global representative of Australian research and education. ANU endeavours to recruit and maintain a diverse and deliberate student cohort representative not only of Australia, but the world. In order to achieve these outcomes, competitive ranking of applicants may be adjusted to ensure access to ANU is a reality for brilliant students from countries across the globe.
Assessment of qualifications: Unless otherwise indicated, ANU will accept all Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications or international equivalents that meet or exceed the published admission requirements of our programs, provided all other admission requirements are also met.
Where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will base assessment on the qualification that best meets the admission requirements for the program. Find out more about the Australian Qualifications Framework: www.aqf.edu.au.
Unless otherwise indicated, where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will calculate the GPA for each qualification separately. ANU will base assessment on the best GPA of all completed tertiary qualifications of the same level or higher.
ANU uses a 7-point Grade Point Average (GPA) scale. All qualifications submitted for admission at ANU will be converted to this common scale, which will determine if an applicant meets our published admission requirements. Find out more about how a 7-point GPA is calculated for Australian universities: www.uac.edu.au/future-applicants/admission-criteria/tertiary-qualifications.

Fee Information
All students are required to pay the Services and amenities fee (SA Fee)
The annual indicative fee provides an estimate of the program tuition fees for international students and domestic students (where applicable). The annual indicative fee for a program is based on the standard full-time enrolment load of 48 units per year (unless the program duration is less than 48 units). Fees for courses vary by discipline meaning that the fees for a program can vary depending on the courses selected. Course fees are reviewed on an annual basis and typically will increase from year to year. The tuition fees payable are dependent on the year of commencement and the courses selected and are subject to increase during the period of study.

About this degree
Credit/Exemptions
Students with a Bachelor degree or Graduate Diploma that includes programming or maths may be able to obtain exemption or credit for some of the introductory courses included in the core. Note: applying for status is essentially a statement that if you were to take the ANU exam for that introductory course, you would achieve 60% or greater.
Instructions on how to apply for credit/exemptions can be found here. Please note the additional requirements that apply to COMP6250 Professional Practice 1, located at the bottom of that page.
Please include a description to map the content and learning outcome of courses students have taken in their former universities to the one in ANU for the credit application.
Any awarded course credit counts towards the unit requirements of your program and may shorten the length of your degree. If the duration of your degree is shortened, international students electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) will be revised to reflect the new end date of the degree. This may have implications on your visa conditions. Students are advised to contact the Department of Home affairs for more information.
Courses for which you receive an exemption are to be replaced by elective COMP courses.
Enrolment Status
Typically students will enrol in 24 units per semester (four courses): a full-time load.
Domestic students may enrol in fewer courses each semester, known as part-time study. Part-time study will extend the duration of the degree and there are limitations to how long you can take to complete the degree.
International students must always study full-time
Electives
You should read the appropriate enrolment patterns mentioned below to see how many electives you may choose and where they fit in your program. A minimum of 36 units in your program must come from completion of 8000-level or Advanced 6000-level courses.
When choosing elective courses, check the course listing on Programs and Courses to ensure that you have the required and assumed knowledge before enrolling. If you don't, consider changing your planned enrolment to make sure you take the pre-requisite course.
Academic Advice
Important things to keep in mind when planning your enrolment
You need to enrol in courses for both First and Second Semester (you can change your Semester 2 courses all the way until July.)
Before selecting what courses to enrol in, you should read the CECC advice on enrolling.
The university electives must be courses offered to postgraduate students. Credits will not be granted to university elective courses at undergraduate level taken by MMLCV students.
