Most undergraduate programs assume that mathematics has been studied at secondary school to a reasonable level and that the minimum requirement is a mathematics study at VCE levels 1 and 2. For Victorian students, the requirement for some undergraduate courses is VCE mathematics levels 1 and 2 and for other courses levels 3 and 4. Courses that involve computer engineering have relatively stringent prerequisites. VCE English (any) at units 3 and 4 level is a prerequisite for all courses. Students should consult the VTAC guide for the study score, which varies by course.
Unit prerequisites are listed under the course descriptions within this handbook. Students should refer to the relevant and current version of the following publications for details of the necessary entrance scores, or contact any faculty office:
