Melbourne Institute of Technology Admissions Decision

Since the admissions take place on a rolling basis, there is no specific decision timeline. Applicants should go to the ‘Special conditions of the offer’ to find out if they have any conditions when the admission decision is being made. This should be done within a few weeks of application. If there are conditions, applicants must make available the conditional documents before accepting the offer and submitting the Offer and Acceptance Authorization. Thereafter, applicants can submit the required documents including the Letter of Offer and Acceptance Agreement after signing section 9 of the Offer and Acceptance Authorization to an agent or email it directly to the school at acceptance@mit.edu.au.

Melbourne Institute of Technology Admissions: Selection Criteria

Melbourne Institute of Technology admissions are offered on the basis of a student's background, academic performance, and professional experience (if applicable). The admissions committee reviews each application very carefully to determine the right candidate for admission. Students do not have a set minimum score expectation from the committee, however, the better academic performance, the more chance for admission. Other factors like English proficiency, extracurricular performance, recommendations, and statements of intent also play an important role in the admission decision making process.

In situations where an international applicant wishes to defer or cancel his/her admission, such an applicant should know that the school is expected to notify the Department of Education of any changes to the enrolment and this may affect the student visa. Such international students are required to contact the DHA for advice on how a change to their enrolment status may affect their student visas. For any inquiries, international students can email the school at info.sydney@mit.edu.au.
