Academic entry requirements

To be eligible for admission, students must meet the minimum academic requirements for their chosen course. As a general guide:

• - Undergraduate programs – Completion of Australian Year 12 or an equivalent overseas qualification
• - Postgraduate programs (coursework and research) – An Australian equivalent Bachelor’s degree or higher qualification (such as a Master’s degree) from a relevant field

Entry requirements may vary by course and by country.

How we assess overseas qualifications

MIT assesses overseas qualifications using the Australian Government’s Country Education Profiles (CEP). This helps us determine how a student’s previous qualifications compare to Australian education standards.

English language requirements

All students must meet MIT’s minimum English language proficiency requirements. Accepted English tests include IELTS, TOEFL, and PTE Academic. Requirements vary by course:

• - Undergraduate and most postgraduate coursework programs: IELTS (Academic) 6.0 overall (no band less than 5.5), or equivalent
• - Master of Data Analytics and Master of Business Analytics: IELTS 6.0 overall (no band less than 6.0), or equivalent
• - Master of Professional Accounting (MPA) and postgraduate research programs: IELTS 6.5 overall (no band less than 6.0), or equivalent

Students who do not meet the English language requirement may be eligible for a packaged offer with English for Academic Purposes (EAP).

Genuine Student (GS) requirement

All students applying for a student visa to study at MIT must meet the Australian Government’s Genuine Student (GS) requirement, as set by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA). To meet this requirement, students must demonstrate that they:

• Have genuine reasons for choosing their course and MIT
• Understand their visa conditions and study commitments
• Have the financial capacity to support their studies and living costs
• Demonstrate logical study or career progression, based on their previous studies and/or work experience

The GS requirement is not intended to exclude students who, after completing their studies, develop skills that are in demand in Australia and later apply for permanent residence.

MIT’s GS Screening Process Includes:

• Student interviews (where required)
• Submission of Genuine Student responses and the GS Test Assessment Form
• Verification of supporting documents, including academic and financial documents

Application Requirements Based on Student Location:

• - Offshore students (outside Australia): Must apply through an MIT-authorised agent in their home country or country of residence.
• - Onshore students without a current student visa: Must apply through an MIT-authorised agent in Australia.
• - Onshore students with a current student visa: May apply directly to MIT or through an agent.

Students may also be required to attend an interview with an MIT representative before an offer or CoE is issued.
