You may still apply even if you don't meet the minimum percentage required in your major subject. Your application will be declined, but you will be provided with a way forward (eg completing modules for non-degree purposes), applying for another qualification or applying via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), provided that you are 23 years of age or older with at least 5 years current and relevant work experience related to the qualification you wish to pursue. Prior learning should have been gained through one or more of the following means: research experience, workplace learning, information/non-formal learning, company/industry-based training, working with experts or life experience.
