Admissions
For international applicants: successful completion of Australian Year 12 (or an equivalent overseas senior secondary qualification), an Australian Qualifications Framework Certificate IV (or equivalent), or approved university foundation studies. As a performance-based course, admission also typically requires an audition or portfolio in the applicant's chosen major (Drama, Music Theatre or Technical Theatre); applicants should confirm current audition requirements directly with CQU. Note: CQU's own marketing page for this course (code CG72) currently titles it 'Bachelor of Theatre', without '(Specialisation)' in the name.
