Admission Requirements
You must have a minimum of one semester (usually 6 months) of full-time study in an undergraduate degree programme from a recognised university (or similar institution), with a minimum GPA or GPE of 5.0 or higher, either across your last semester of full-time study, or across your entire degree so far.
A rank order will then be established based on academic performance (based on GPA). Places will be offered to the highest ranking applicants until the programme limit is reached.
The number of places available is dependent on the number of places filled by school leaver, Certificate of Health Sciences, and Tertiary Foundation Certificate applicants, who are guaranteed a place if they meet the requirements.
