If required, ranking may further be confirmed on the basis of:a GPA ('GPA2') calculated on the penultimate and antepenultimate semesters (or equivalent) of the Bachelor degree used for admission purposes; and/ordemonstrating higher-level English language proficiencyPrior to enrolment in this ANU program, all students who gain entry will have their Bachelor degree reassessed, to confirm minimum requirements were met.Further information: English language admission requirements and post-admission supportDiversity factors: As Australia’s national university, ANU is global representative of Australian research and education.
