Available places will be offered to qualified applicants ranked on merit in accordance with the following criteria:

Candidates must achieve a minimum credit average in EMBA6002 and EMBA6003 before proceeding to the next core units in the prescribed sequence.

Candidates who fail to achieve a minimum credit average in EMBA6002 and EMBA6003 will be eligible for the award of the Graduate Certificate in Business Administration provided the candidates have met the requirements for that award.

Candidates for the Executive Master of Business Administration may be eligible for a reduction in the volume of learning for study undertaken at Australian Qualification Framework Level 9 standard or higher or within a university-delivered program of executive education deemed by the Business School to be of equivalent standard to that of the Executive Master of Business Administration.
