Entry requirements – Australian students
Entry into the Degrees requires a minimum UAI of 60.00 or equivalent. Other prospective students can also apply and will be individually assessed.
Entry into the Advanced Diplomas is based on an interview and ability to demonstrate a willingness and ability to learn, accept feedback and commit to a course of study. As part of the interview process you will complete a short written task, which helps us assess your strengths and capacity to succeed in your chosen course. Entry is not based on UAI.
Entry into the Diploma is typically based on your level of work experience. If you have completed the HSC then we also like for you to have worked full-time for at least one year. If you have not completed the HSC then at least two years full-time work experience is required as entry. Your previous work experience does not necessarily need to be within the field you are intending to study. As part of your application for part-time study you need to include a copy of your CV or resume.
Entry requirements – overseas students
A minimum level of English language proficiency and educational qualifications must be demonstrated by overseas students. All APM College of Business and Communication qualifications have an overall IELTS requirement of 6.0 (minimum score of 5.5 in each band). Before entering a contract with APM College of Business and Communication, overseas students should read the ESOS framework. A simple explanation of the framework is the Easy Guide to ESOS available online at: www.aei.dest.gov.au/AEI/ESOS/EasyGuide_ESOS.htm.
The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations regulates the education and training sector’s involvement with overseas students studying in Australia on student visas. It does this through the Education Services for Overseas Students legislative framework. This protects Australia’s reputation for delivering quality education services and the interests of overseas students, by setting minimum standards and providing tuition and financial assurance. The legislation mandates a nationally consistent approach to registering education providers so that the quality of the tuition, and care of students, remains high. The professionalism and integrity of the industry is further strengthened by the ESOS legislation’s interface with immigration law. This imposes visa related reporting requirements on both students and providers.
Note: School-aged dependents accompanying you to Australia are required to pay full fees if they are enrolled in either a government or non-government school.

MODES OF STUDY AND ASSESSMENT METHODS
