Combined Bachelor and Master Course

Enrolment Information

What happens when I finish my Bachelor component of studies?

Your undergraduate course status will be updated to Conditionally Complete and your course status will show as Admitted for your postgraduate component of studies.

When does the Progression check occur for me to continue with the Masters?

The progression check will be done at the completion of 160cp with a required WAM of 70 or WAM of 75, depending on the combined bachelor and masters program you have been admitted to.

If you meet the requirements, you will be able to continue with your postgraduate units of your program.

What if I don’t meet the WAM requirement?

You will not be permitted to continue with the combined master's program. You will be automatically Course Transferred to the single Bachelor version of your course.

You will be sent an email with specific information and instructions on how you can re-enrol into the single Bachelor’s degree.

What if I meet the Progression requirements to continue with the Masters but no longer wish to?

You must submit a Course Transfer application request to continue studies for the single Bachelor’s degree.

What if I have completed and passed units under my Master’s component and no longer want to continue and would like to qualify for the single bachelor's degree?

First you need to use the Course Guidance self-help tool to find the resources to understand your course, its requirements, and the effects of making changes to your degree. You will also be required to submit an Expect to Complete form to indicate your wish to complete the single bachelors degree component, and you may also need to submit a Course Transfer application.

What happens when I finish my Master component of my Combined degree?

You will be qualified for both the Bachelor and Masters degree of which you will receive one testamur.

Can I graduate out with my Bachelor’s first and then continue with the Masters component?

No, this is not permitted as the Combined Bachelors degrees have been structured to meet specific curriculum requirements. If you would like to qualify with the bachelor's you must submit a Course Transfer application to continue with the undergraduate degree. You will need to reapply for postgraduate studies through UAC at a later date.
