Entry requirements

Review the available standard entry requirements, English requirements and additional notes for this course.

Standard entry

Applicants for a Bachelor Honours Degree are required to meet University academic and English language entry standards; details are provided at http://study.curtin.edu.au/ and include flexible entry pathways.

Admission to Honours is by invitation and follows high achievement in an appropriate Bachelor Degree.

Any specific course entry and completion requirements must also be met.

All Curtin courses have compulsory and other core capabilities that are essential for demonstrating the achievement of course learning outcomes and graduation.

Students who are unable to meet or demonstrate those requirements, now or in later stages during their studies, may seek reasonable adjustments by the University wherever possible to facilitate alternative ways of achieving those requirements.

If reasonable adjustments cannot be accommodated, Curtin will discuss study options to find an alternative course of study or an exit degree.

Specifically, applicants require successful completion of the Bachelor of Science (Actuarial Science).

Refer to Admission into Honours Degree Programs (General Information section).
