Associate Degree of Sport Business (NSW Only)

The good news, our courses are not ATAR-dependent. Instead, you can be considered for admission via one of the following criteria. Applicants with lower performance standards may consider studying for an Associate Degree or Diploma as a pathway to a bachelor’s degree.

• A minimum NSW HSC (Higher School Certificate) or equivalent meeting required standards in relevant subjects.
• Performance in relevant year 11 results for early entry pending release of HSC results.
• An Associate Diploma, Diploma, Advanced Diploma, or Tertiary Preparation Certificate from a TAFE or other recognised VET provider qualification.
• A completed Certificate IV from a TAFE or other recognised VET provider qualification plus completed year 11 or an equivalent.
• One year of full-time or an equivalent study in a degree course at a recognised higher education institute in Australia or an equivalent.
• Satisfaction of entry requirements specified under formal articulation arrangements as determined by the ACPE Academic Board.
• Completion of a Big Picture Education Portfolio at a Big Picture School, supported by a recommendation from the school principal.
• A recognised overseas qualification with demonstrated proficiency in English.
• Demonstration to the CEO or the Dean’s satisfaction of good selection prospects as a student (for example, relevant work experience and motivation to study), and ineligibility to compete for admission based on the above academic achievement criteria.

Alternate entry

ACPE offers a range of alternative entry pathways to help you enter a degree. If you are looking to turn your passion for sport into a career, an industry-recognised qualification from ACPE will give you the foundation you need.
