Applicants who hold a Bachelors degree as their highest level of prior study will be required to undertake 120 credit points of introductory units prior to progressing to one of the Masters streams. A student who has successfully undertaken a Graduate Certificate in a Health related discipline would be eligible for advanced standing of 60 credit points towards their introductory units.
