You don't need to have studied specific subjects at school to apply for the majority of our undergraduate courses. We assume you have a minimum level of knowledge in certain subject areas before you start your course - we call this 'assumed knowledge'.

You can still apply if you don't have the assumed knowledge for your course, but we strongly encourage you to undertake bridging courses to get the knowledge you'll need.

Prerequisites

Some of our courses have prerequisite subjects instead of, or in addition to, assumed knowledge.

That means you must have studied and met the required grade in the required subjects to gain entry to these courses.

If you don’t have the prerequisite subjects or are unsure whether your subjects meet the prerequisites check the list of equivalent subjects on this page.

What's the assumed knowledge or prerequisites for my course?

All of our courses have assumed knowledge, or for some courses a prerequisite, of English, or Literature, or English and Literature Extension, or English as an Additional Language (Units 3 & 4, C).

Check your course information to find out if there is any other assumed knowledge or prerequisites for your course.

I don't have the assumed knowledge for my course

If you don't have the assumed knowledge you might have trouble keeping up in your classes.

You can do extra studies to help you catch up on what you've missed.

English

You can successfully complete a year of vocational or tertiary study (university or TAFE) to satisfy the assumed knowledge or complete one of the other options listed in our assumed knowledge/prerequisite equivalent subjects.

Maths

We recommend that you complete bridging or preparatory studies before or during your first semester.

We offer mathematics bridging programs or you can complete one of the other options listed in our assumed knowledge equivalent subjects.

Discover mathematics bridging programs

I didn't complete Year 12 in Queensland

Check our assumed knowledge equivalent subjects to see if you have equivalent knowledge if you've completed:

  • Year 12 in another state
  • the International Baccalaureate (IB)
  • studies at university or TAFE.

Assumed knowledge equivalent and prerequisite subjects

If you plan to complete preparatory studies before your course commences or want to make sure your previous studies meet our prerequisite or assumed knowledge guidelines, check our guide to equivalent subjects for secondary school subjects, tertiary and bridging studies.
