A Bachelor degree or international equivalent with a minimum GPA of 6.0/7.0
Students must achieve a minimum 75% weighted average mark in the first 72 units of courses attempted in order to remain enrolled in the Master of Diplomacy (Advanced). If the total number of units attempted exceeds 72 in the same teaching period in which the 72nd unit is attempted, exactly 72 units will be used in the calculation of the weighted average mark with units from the course with the highest mark applied first followed by further units from courses in descending order of marks. Students who do not have the required minimum average mark, or who do not have the written agreement of an identified supervisor once they have completed the coursework for the degree, may be transferred to the Master of Diplomacy.
