Eligibility
To be eligible for and to complete a Fast-Track to Masters program, you must:

Future domestic students
Applications for most of our Fast-track to Masters programs are done through SATAC via a unique code. Alternatively, you might need to apply for an internal transfer after successfully completing part of your bachelor’s degree (this applies to STEM packages only). Once you receive an offer and commence your bachelor’s degree, we’ll work with you to create a personalised study plan. This means, looking at the different courses and electives you can study and when to ensure you finish within the fast-tracked timeframe.
You’ll need to connect with your Program Director to do this. However, if you’re studying one of our business programs, this is done through the Business Student Hub.
