LCI Melbourne admits students through a number of pathways, not just on the basis of school results. Our two main entry routes are Academic Entry and Creative Entry. Academic Entry is based on an ATAR score, or previous higher education or vocational education. Creative Entry is based on a portfolio or work experience, and an interview.

All international applicants must meet the minimum English language requirements.
Applicants who have suffered educational disadvantage may be eligible for special consideration for admission to the course at LCI Melbourne. This includes applicants with physical disabilities, from geographically isolated areas, or from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Applicants who have a physical disability and do not meet the Academic Entry requirements may be assessed on the basis of Creative Entry. LCI Melbourne can adjust the portfolio requirements and/or selection task to enable equitable access to the course. Applicants from other disadvantaged backgrounds can be assessed via Academic or Creative Entry, which may include prior academic achievements, any relevant work experience and an interview with Admissions Officers. International applicants must still achieve the minimum English proficiency requirements.
Applicants of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Island descent may apply for special consideration for admission to LCI Melbourne. Applicants should contact the Admissions Office requesting special consideration. Applications can be assessed via Academic or Creative Entry routes. Aboriginal or Torres Strait Island applicants who do not request special consideration will be assessed via LCI Melbourne’s standard entry routes.
All applicants, whether domestic or international, need to apply directly to LCI Melbourne on an official application form. Our course has either a creative entry requirement OR a minimum academic entry requirement. Applicants choose which entry route they would like to be assessed through. You may decide to enter via creative entry even if you possess the minimum academic entry requirements.
