Academic entry requirements
To study at UC, you’ll need to meet our academic entry requirements and any admission requirements specific to your course. Please read your course admission requirements below. To find out whether you meet UC’s academic entry requirements, visit our academic entry requirements page.
Professional accreditation
None.
Completed tertiary undergraduate qualification in a relevant discipline (architecture, built environment, building and construction engineering and management, project management and civil engineering disciplines), as approved by the University.
The University of Canberra is a strong supporter of lifelong education and recognises that not everyone comes into university through traditional pathways. For example, we know that often people with significant industry experience are excellent students who gain a lot from completing our courses.
If you do not hold a Bachelor degree in a relevant discipline, we may consider your previous related work experience through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). RPL enables admissions based on learning derived from work experience or a combination of qualification and work experience. The amount of work experience required will depend on your previous qualifications, ranging from 4 years (for example, if you have a TAFE advanced diploma) to 10 years if your highest qualification is a Year 12 certificate.
In general, the following documentation is required as part of the RPL assessment. Please contact FAD.Student@canberra.edu.au if you'd like to speak to someone about your eligibility.
- an employer's letter validating work experience
- examples of work, training certificates and course outlines
- documented professional qualifications.
Additional admission requirements
The applicants for the flexible and fully online modes of the program are required to have a functional computer to apply BIM software packages and tools.
Assumed knowledge
None.
