Each application is assessed individually. While prior study (secondary or tertiary) is recommended to meet entry requirements, we encourage you to contact us to discuss options for us to help guide your next steps.

Year 2 students and online blended learners are required to find their own clinic placement.

Do I need to be computer literate and have access to a computer?2022-05-31T19:09:17+12:00

Yes. All assignments need to be computer generated so we expect students to be comfortable with programmes like Microsoft Word. You will also need access to the internet for research, online learning, timetables and more. We strongly recommend students have a laptop as some tests are done online during class time.
