Entry requirements for Pakistani students

For direct bachelor's entry from Pakistan, Macquarie lists completion of the first year of a 4-year bachelor degree at a recognised university, or a completed 2-3 year bachelor degree; the Pakistani HSSC/FSc is not listed as a direct-entry qualification, so school leavers usually go through a Macquarie University College Foundation or Diploma pathway. GCE A-Levels are accepted.
