The Postgraduate Qualifying Program (PQP) prepares students who do not meet Swinburne’s English language and/or academic entry requirements to undertake postgraduate study at Swinburne.

Successful completion of the program offers guaranteed entry to the first year of a postgraduate degree or double degree at Swinburne.

By combining English language training and academic studies, students are equipped with the skills they need to succeed in postgraduate study in areas including, business administration, marketing, social impact, supply chain innovation, practicing accounting, finance and banking, digital business management, financial planning, business information systems, IT, and media and communications.

The purpose of the Postgraduate Qualifying Program is to provide an entry pathway to students who have completed a non-NOOSR accredited degree. This program builds on students' prior study to prepare them for entry into a Swinburne postgraduate coursework program. This program is not available to domestic students.

3 or more years of Higher Education study in any field and qualifications which are recognised by NOOSR as Associate Degree or higher OR any Bachelor Degree of 4 + Years full time duration where the degree is recognised by NOOSR as Diploma equivalent.
