Entry requirements

BNIT considers several factors when assessing your application to enter a Certificate or Diploma course. Two important factors are your academic history and your proficiency in English.

Academic requirements vary depending on the course you wish to enter. Minimum requirements relating to academic history are listed in our course information sheets - for example:

  • Year 10 or equivalent (for Certificate courses)
  • Year 12 or equivalent (for Diploma courses).

Some courses may have further requirements such as:

  • Proficiency in specific subjects - for example, science, art or mathematics.
  • Mature-age entry is usually offered as an alternative to Years 10 or 12 levels of study. For mature-age entry, you must be at least 21 years of age and have relevant work experience.

If you have concerns about your academic record and its effect on entry into your preferred course, please contact the International Student Officer on +617 3259 9221 or one of our representatives in your home country.

Your prior work or life experiences may qualify you to apply for special entry or credit. This is known as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). To apply for RPL, you must provide evidence of your experience so that BNIT can determine whether it matches the outcomes of the course you wish to enter.
