The minimum requirements for admission are:

1. The equivalent of a three-year undergraduate degree plus a postgraduate degree in a relevant discipline from UNSW with an overall average grade of at least 75 (Distinction), OR the equivalent of multiple undergraduate degrees (eg a dual degree) from UNSW with at least one in a relevant discipline and an overall average grade of at least 75 (Distinction), OR the equivalent of a four-year degree of Bachelor with first or upper second class Honours from UNSW in a relevant discipline.
2. For international students, a high degree of English language proficiency (IELTS 7.0 overall with at least 6.5 in each band)
3. For applicants of the Economics stream, results for the GRE unless waived by the Stream Convenor.
4. For applicants of the Marketing stream, results for the GMAT unless waived by the Stream Convenor.
5. A 300 word statement of research interests.

Admission will ultimately be at the discretion of the UNSW Business School and will rely on the Business School having appropriate research supervision capacity and resources available for an applicant’s research interests.

All students will be required to undertake the three Core Courses, regardless of prior learning. If students have previously undertaken courses specified by their stream, or those courses are unavailable, they will be given the option of taking relevant elective courses instead, subject to the approval of the Stream Convenor.

A pass average is required to remain in the Masters degree.
