Eligibility
There are many pathways to an undergraduate degree.
Do I need an ATAR to apply for undergraduate study?
Whether you completed high school months or years ago, or not at all, there’s a pathway to university for you. While an ATAR may be the most common way to access undergraduate studies, it isn’t by any means the only way.
Do undergraduate degrees have entry requirements?
All our undergraduate programs have subject prerequisites. These are specific subjects you must have studied to be eligible for an offer. Prerequisites ensure you have an appropriate level of subject area knowledge when you start your program.
