Entry requirements for Pakistani students

RMIT converts Australian entry standards to Pakistani results using the overall average percentage of academic subjects. The Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC/FSc) is shown as 'Not applicable' for direct bachelor degree entry; it can lead to Foundation Studies (average 55%), University Pathways Fast Track (65%) or diploma/associate degrees (65-75% depending on the program), which then lead into a bachelor's. Pakistan is on RMIT's list of countries whose applicants pay a non-refundable AU$100 application fee (credited to the tuition deposit on enrolment).
