ADF military applicants are considered to have the equivalent of an undergraduate 3-year degree if:

-- ADF Officers with 4 years experience at O3 level or higher; or
-- ADF SNCOs with 4 years experience at E8 level or higher;
and would still be required to show 3 years of relevant professional experience in a cognate discipline.

All applicants not holding an undergraduate degree must have:

-- Completed Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree and have completed at least three years relevant full-time professional experience; or
-- Completed TAFE/VET Diploma and have completed at least five years relevant full-time professional experience.

Applicants with no tertiary qualifications:

-- Applicants would require substantiating evidence of prior learning (formal, informal or non-formal) where it can be demonstrated that the applicant has achieved equivalent learning outcomes to a AQF Level 8 qualification in a cognate discipline. This would include documents such as academic records, continuing professional education, professional registration and statements of service from the employer.
-- Applicants under a conditional offer of admission to the MStratPMgt program will be required to undertake the course ZBUS8210 Critical Analysis in Business as a precondition of entry to the program. On successful completion of this course, it will be credited to the program for advanced standing.

Professional experience:

The evidence required for validation of professional experience will include a statement of service from the employer verifying the position, role and responsibilities, and duration of employment.
