Published approximate guidance: Published three-cycle historical guidance: BSc Nursing: “high 80s to low 90s”; the bilingual programme separately says “mid 80s to low 90s”. These are the university’s literal approximate words, not exact numeric endpoints or a forecast for the next cycle.. Three admission cycles preceding the current page checked 2026-10-30; specific cycle years are not named. The central page states a general 70% floor across five programme-required subjects, with Grade 11 marks at least 60% and Grade 12 marks at least 50%. Individual programme requirements, capacity and actual offer conditions still govern. A broad faculty trend is not a major-specific admitted-average distribution.

Nursing year-two age and clinical conditions

Admitted BSc Nursing Collaborative students before year two/clinical practice, not an age-18 first-year admission rule

Be at least 18 before starting year two.
Complete the required health and safety clearances before clinical practice.

Transfer assessment below or above 24 transferable units

Applicants with postsecondary coursework; each faculty controls actual entry conditions

Below 24 transferable units, high-school requirements apply and both school and postsecondary performance may be considered. At 24 or more units, assessment uses secondary prerequisites and postsecondary performance; a postsecondary course may satisfy a specific school prerequisite when accepted. Competitive GPA typically uses the most recent 24 available units.
All undergraduate admission is competitive and subject to space. English proficiency and the chosen faculty’s transfer requirements still apply. This shared assessment rule does not establish eligibility for every programme or change a held minimum.
