All graduate courses have various admission requirements. Most colleges require a candidate to have a Masters degree, although very good primary degrees are sometimes considered. Some require an applicant to have a primary degree, while others accept other third-level qualifications, such as a diploma or higher certificate. At least a 2.2 honours undergraduate degree in an appropriate discipline is required for the most Masters programs. More prestigious courses may require a 2.1 or higher result of an applicant.

PhD and other research programs frequently require a definite level of research experience for entrance. Applications for taught graduate courses of most universities naturally require the following:

2. Application fee
3. Curriculum vitae
