Minimum requirement

The international academic-entry table lists IB26. Applicants must also meet English and other applicable admission requirements; competitive selection may apply when eligible demand exceeds available places.

Subjects & levels
The course lists no assumed knowledge in the reviewed entry section. No specific IB subject grade is reproduced here because the international summary does not publish one; check any conditions attached to an individual offer.
Applicant route, language & official sources

Applicant route: International applicants using the IB entry column for the new Adelaide University. Separate domestic admission-rank and pathway arrangements are not substituted for the international requirement.

Language: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, with at least 6.0 in every component, is the listed English test route; approved alternatives apply.

Other steps: This is a three-year undergraduate computing degree offered at Adelaide City and Mawson Lakes. It belongs to Adelaide University rather than being a historical University of Adelaide course requirement.

Year notes: The reviewed live course view does not establish a specific intake year for this requirement. It is recorded as current, without claiming that a 2027 threshold has been confirmed.

The official 2026 international guide lists IB30 for this four-year undergraduate law degree. It is an academic entry requirement, with the programme's other conditions assessed separately.

Subjects & levels
The verified course information does not publish a named IB HL/SL prerequisite in the international summary. Do not infer that a Diploma total removes English or other eligibility conditions.

Applicant route: International applicants using the IB entry column for the new Adelaide University. Separate domestic admission-rank and pathway arrangements are not substituted for the international requirement.

Language: The guide lists IELTS Academic 7.0 overall and 7.0 in every component. This is higher than the general requirement shown for several other Adelaide undergraduate degrees.

Other steps: The course is based at Adelaide City. Academic completion and professional admission to legal practice are separate stages; this IB record covers entry to the undergraduate academic programme.

Year notes: The score is explicitly supported by the 2026 guide. The live page's intake-year selector was not resolved in the accessible view, so this is not presented as a confirmed 2027 threshold.

ANU lists an indicative IB total of 33 for this programme. In its overseas-school IB table, 33 corresponds to entrance rank 85–86. International applications receive an equivalent-rank assessment and may be competitively ranked.

Subjects & levels
The reviewed programme page does not state a named IB HL/SL subject prerequisite or an AA/AI distinction. This means no such programme-level condition was published there, rather than a waiver of other admission requirements.
Applicant route, language & official sources

Applicant route: International applicants whose IB Diploma or Bilingual Diploma was obtained at a school outside Australia. Australian-school IB results from November 2022 use a separate table with fractional scores.

Language: English. IB evidence can include an English-taught and assessed Diploma, with language-learning exceptions, or a pass in English A Literature or Language and Literature at SL/HL. IELTS Academic is another route: 6.5 overall and 6.0 each skill.

Other steps: English evidence has timing and other policy conditions. Nominate ANU to receive official IB results; direct applicants receive no adjustment factors.

Minimum requirement

The general Science row lists IB24. This is the broad degree entry figure; applicants must still satisfy the prerequisites attached to their selected major.

Subjects & levels
UWA directs students to individual major descriptions for prerequisites. No single IB maths or science grade is asserted for all BSc majors, because their preparation and entry conditions differ.
Applicant route, language & official sources

Applicant route: IB applicants seeking the standard undergraduate degree. Major prerequisites, English competence and any separate assured postgraduate pathway conditions must also be considered.

Language: The standard English test route is IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, with no band below 6.0. UWA also lists accepted prior qualifications and alternative tests.

Other steps: The three-year course offers study across pure and applied sciences. UWA's assured pathways to postgraduate professions have their own conditions and should not be confused with standard Bachelor of Science admission.

Subjects & levels
Previous science courses contribute to assessment of suitability. Mathematics covering differentiation and integration is highly recommended. The page does not turn that recommendation into a mandatory IB Mathematics AA course, a prescribed HL/SL combination or a subject-grade cutoff.
Applicant route, language & official sources

Applicant route: Applicants with an IB Diploma use the international-qualification route, which covers qualifications earned in multiple countries. All applicants must complete programme selection; diploma recognition alone does not secure a place.

Language: English is explicitly identified as the programme's teaching and examination language. The online admissions interview is also in English. The applicant-specific language evidence process determines whether additional proficiency documents are needed.

Other steps: Selection considers the academic record, science preparation and motivation. Applicants submit an English motivation letter, and reviewed applications may lead to an interview about academic plans. The admissions board decides whether to offer a place.

The overseas BSc route lists 26 IB points for most majors in 2027. The base qualification is a completed IB Diploma with at least 24 points. The BSc has limited entry, so meeting the published likely grades does not guarantee an offer.

Subjects & levels
Computer Science is offered as a BSc major. The reviewed admissions page does not specify an IB HL/SL subject requirement or AA/AI distinction for this major. Individual university courses may still have prerequisites; check these when planning your first year.
Applicant route, language & official sources

Applicant route: International school-leavers applying with an overseas IB Diploma. This record does not apply the separate guaranteed-rank table for students leaving New Zealand schools.

Language: English is identified as the teaching language in Auckland's official study-abroad factsheet. The programme lists IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, or an accepted alternative.

Other steps: Applications are assessed individually and higher grades may be needed. The six specified health majors have a separate IB28 threshold; Computer Science is outside that group.

Year notes: The page explicitly gives 2027 requirements but still says final selection criteria require University Council approval and were expected in September. Check the programme page again before applying.

Diploma & subject requirements

The BCom requires University Entrance or equivalent. Canterbury accepts the awarded IB Diploma, and its preparation guide states a minimum of 24 points. This is Diploma-based eligibility, not a separately published competitive BCom score cutoff.

Subjects & levels
Any IB mathematics subject meets entrance numeracy, without an AA/AI or HL/SL distinction. Literacy is met through English A Literature or Language and Literature at SL/HL, or English B at HL. The general BCom page names no additional IB subject prerequisite; individual majors and courses may have requirements.
Applicant route, language & official sources

Applicant route: International IB Diploma applicants meeting University Entrance and the applicable English requirements. The domestic discretionary route for students with 24 points but no Diploma is outside this record.

Language: English. Official University of California exchange guidance explicitly identifies Canterbury's teaching language. Canterbury's undergraduate IELTS Academic route requires 6.0 overall and at least 5.5 in each skill; accepted alternatives apply.

Other steps: International applicants must provide acceptable English evidence. English test results normally need to meet the standard in one sitting within two years of the expected study start.

Year notes: The checked pages do not name an entry year. The IB page is dated October 2024 and remains linked from Canterbury's 2026 international admissions guidance; requirements are recorded as current, not labelled 2027.
