What You Need for Admission
Entry Requirements
Entry standards depend on the course rather than one institute-wide score.

Recognised bachelor degree
A recognised bachelor degree or equivalent is generally required. English varies by program and should be checked against the selected course.
Course-specific English standards
Master of Networking: IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5. Data and Business Analytics programs are around IELTS 6.0 with course-specific components. Master of Professional Accounting: IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0.

| Student Position | MIT Application Route |
|---|---|
| Outside Australia | Must apply through an MIT-authorised agent in the country of residence |
| In Australia without a current Student visa | Must apply through an MIT-authorised agent in Australia |
| In Australia with a current Student visa | Can apply directly or through an agent |
Genuine Student screening may still apply
MIT may require an interview and Genuine Student assessment before issuing the CoE. If Think Higher is managing your case, we first confirm the correct MIT application channel for your location and visa position.
Professional Recognition
Professional Recognition
Professional accreditation is particularly relevant for MIT’s accounting and technology programs.
Bachelor of Networking and its Cybersecurity and Software Engineering majors are accredited by the Australian Computer Society at Professional Level.
Bachelor of Data Analytics and Master of Business Analytics are ACS-accredited at Professional Level.
Accounting programs include professional recognition through bodies such as CPA Australia and Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand, depending on the qualification.
Professional membership or migration outcomes remain subject to the relevant professional body and immigration requirements.
Scholarships for International Students
Scholarships for International Students
MIT offers several scholarships, but they apply to different student groups rather than one universal discount.
A particularly relevant current option is the Second and Third-Year Undergraduate Scholarship. Eligible international students who commenced in 2025 or 2026 and complete their first year can receive a one-unit fee waiver each trimester, equivalent to a 25% tuition reduction, for the remainder of the course.
MIT also offers merit and progression scholarships subject to separate eligibility requirements.
Credit Transfer & Recognition of Prior Learning
Can Previous Study Reduce Your Course?
MIT allows Credit Transfer and Recognition of Prior Learning where previous study or experience matches the new program.
Academic transcriptsAward certificatesDetailed unit descriptionsCredit-transfer documents
Credit should ideally be assessed before or around enrolment, because approved credit can affect course duration and the study plan.
What Happens After the Application?
Application Process
MIT states that complete applications submitted through an authorised agent are generally assessed within approximately 2–5 working days, although additional verification or GS assessment can extend the process.
