OTHER WAYS OF GAINING UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE OTHER THAN USING AN ATAR SCORE
Universities have developed other entry pathways such as the University Preparation Courses at Murdoch, Curtin, Edith Cowan and Notre Dame University and Portfolio or Experienced Based Entry Pathways at Edith Cowan, Curtin and Murdoch University. UWA does not offer a University Preparation course but accepts a 65% weighted average in other preparation courses. Students can also apply to UWA via the Experienced Based Entry scheme.


Information on these can be accessed by contacting the Career Counsellors at the College or on the university’s respective websites:
