UWA Starter 2024
New Program for Secondary Schools
UWA is proud to announce the launch of our new micro-credential program - UWA Starter - which will commence in 2024. This innovative program will allow senior secondary students to earn university-level micro-credentials through UWA. These can be stacked to provide credit towards one undergraduate degree unit in most UWA bachelor’s degrees. Several micro-credentials within the program are also SCSA endorsed and can contribute towards the completion of WACE. The program is open to all Year 11 and 12 students, whichever pathway they are on. Schools can partner with the program for a range of benefits including discounted fees for students.

8 industry opportunities you won’t get elsewhere
Choosing the best university for your career is an important decision. With so many courses on offer, it can be hard to decide which is the right one for you. Not only do you want to choose the right degree, you want to know that your university offers outstanding industry opportunities.
Boost your employability at university
Choosing to study at university is one of the most exciting life decisions you will make. It’s a great way to work towards your dream career and develop all-important skills at the same time – skills that will help you no matter where you decide to go in life.

Frequently asked questions
- Prerequisites and recommended subjects
-
English is a prerequisite to tertiary study at UWA, and some courses also require a certain level of mathematics. For all other courses where a prerequisite is indicated, students can still enrol if the subject has not been completed, but they will need to complete bridging unit(s) within their degree.
- LOTE and mathematics bonus
-
For those studying a language other than English (LOTE), a 10% bonus is applied on the scaled score for the student’s best LOTE subject. Likewise for those studying mathematics, a 10% bonus is applied on the scaled score for Mathematics Methods and a separate bonus for Mathematics Specialist. If a student is completing both subjects, they are eligible for both bonuses. If any of these subjects are not in the student’s top four ATAR outcomes (only four are used to calculate the ATAR), the student is still eligible for the 10% bonus.
- Programs for high-achieving students
-
We offer numerous initiatives, such as particular scholarships, prizes and courses, to celebrate high-achieving students.
Scholarships designed for high-achieving students include the UWA Winthrop Scholarship, UWA Lawrence Scholarship, UWA Hackett Scholarships, UWA Sports Excellence Scholarship, UWA Fogarty Foundation Scholarship and UWA Principal’s Citizenship Award, among others.
Prizes are awarded annually to recognise students’ outstanding academic achievements. About 450 awards are offered by different areas of the University and are presented to recipients at a ceremony. Most prizes are a monetary value, totalling more than $400,000.
Our courses range in ATAR entry requirements from 75 to those with higher ATAR requirements such as our Bachelor of Advanced Computer Science (Honours) (92), Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) (98), Bachelor of Science (Frontier Physics) and Master of Physics (96), Bachelor of Automation and Robotics (88), and Bachelor of Economics and Master of Economics (90), and more.
- UWA's Early Offer program
-
UWA’s Early Offer program provides eligible Year 12 students with the option to apply to UWA earlier in the year than the standard tertiary application process. It has been designed to help ease the stress on Year 12 students. Knowing that there is a place available for them in their chosen course in advance, can provide students with a clearer direction and help them set manageable goals throughout their final year. Plus, getting the administrative processes underway earlier in the year means they will be connected with UWA and set up for a smoother transition into their first year of university.
