After you have submitted your online application, some courses also require you to attend an interview or audition. The course page and/or an Advisor will let you know if this is the case. You can book your interview online via the link that you will receive by email after applying for the course.

In most cases, this is an informal discussion around your creative practice, technical skills, what you hope to gain from study. It includes a short performance, or a presentation of a folio of work, demonstrating your ideas, skills, and abilities.

Once your application has been assessed, you will be contacted by the Department with an offer, or to let you know that your application was unsuccessful.

If unsuccessful, the Department may be able to provide you with further guidance or alternative course options.

After your application has been processed by Melbourne Polytechnic and you’re successful, you will be offered a place in your chosen course.
