International Students
International students should apply on an F Form and lodge it with the Office of International Students. International applicants applying to QUT for the first time should also include an application fee of $AUD55 (including GST). If accepted into the program, this will be deducted from course costs.

Credit, Advanced Standing and Exemptions
BGSB Credit Policy (MBA)
Students seeking advanced standing into the MBA (and associated programs) may be granted this advanced standing only if the course units for which they seek credit have been completed in the past five years from an accredited business school or university (eg AACSB and/or EFMD and/or AMBA). For MBA courses credit may also be granted at the discretion of the MBA Director if the business school or university is highly ranked by an international publication or agency, or where there is a pre-existing exchange/cross-institutional agreement, or where the applicant is considered to be in the top third of his/her class cohort or has a GPA of 5.75 or more on a 7-point scale.
Advance Standing (MBA)
Units undertaken at other institutions or organisations, subsequently credited as advance standing in the MBA programs, do not count toward specialisations (majors, concentrations or minors) unless they are specified exemptions for core/required units or approved electives within a specialisation.
It is not necessary to complete a core/required unit within a specialisation if a substitution is granted for that unit, but that an approved elective be taken from within the specialisation in its place.
Exemptions (Master of Business)
If you have previously completed studies in business, commerce or a relevant cognate background, you may be eligible for exemptions of up to four course units (48 credit points). Normally this exemption will relate to the Foundation component of the degree, Part A. Exemptions are assessed at the time of application for admission.
Exemptions may be approved for undergraduate degrees in the relevant business discipline area to a maximum of 48 credit points, and only in the case of a completed undergraduate degree. Exemptions are awarded only for study completed less than five years previous to enrolling in your postgraduate course at QUT.
