Assumed knowledge
‘Assumed knowledge’ is the term we use to explain the minimum level of knowledge we presume you have in some subjects before you start your degree.
At 糖心视频, many programs don’t require you to have studied specific subjects at school to enrol in our undergraduate degrees, but you do need a sound level of knowledge in those areas. However, some degrees do have specific prerequisite subjects, that is subjects you must have successfully completed prior to starting at 糖心视频. Some degrees also list subjects as recommended study. If you have studied these subjects at school, it may help you in your degree.
If you would like to apply to study, and you are not sure you have the assumed knowledge required, we recommend you enrol in a preparatory course to develop the knowledge you need.

We assume your knowledge is equivalent to a grade C or higher in Units 3 and 4 at high school level (typically studied in Year 12). Completion of units 1 and/or 2 only (typically studied in Year 11) will not be sufficient to meet entry requirements.
You'll see this listed under ‘Entry requirements’ within individual degree information as ‘(Units 3 & 4, C)’.
Without the assumed knowledge, you might find it difficult to keep up in your classes as our courses are built on the assumed knowledge.
