Postgraduate Degrees
1. Qualification Requirement
The admission process assesses a student´s ability to enrol in and successfully complete the course of their choice in the permitted time. Suitability of applicants to study a particular course is to a large extent determined by the admission rules and academic requirements.
Entry into any of the award courses the College offers is open to all applicants who possess a relevant Bachelor degree and or a Graduate degree from a recognised institution either in Australia and or overseas.
Those who have not completed a formal degree may be admitted into the program provided that they have at least completed a Diploma or Advanced Diploma in a recognised institution or hold an equivalent qualification and have relevant industry experience. Eligibility for admission through the flexible entry will be determined on a case by case basis (a charge may apply for assessing certain cases).

For admission into one of the award courses APIC requires as a minimum one of the following English qualifications:
- Academic IELTS: Overall band score of 6.5 or better with no band below 6.0;
