Our admission entry pathways
We offer a wide range of admission entry pathways designed to help your students reach their potential and reduce barriers to higher education.
micro-credential program
UWA+ Starter
In 2024, UWA introduced a micro-credential program called UWA Starter. This innovative program enables senior secondary students to earn university-level micro-credentials at UWA, which can be stacked for credit toward one unit of an undergraduate degree in most UWA bachelor’s programs. Several micro-credentials in the program are also endorsed by SCSA and can contribute towards the completion of a student's WACE requirements. The program is accessible to all Year 11 and 12 students, regardless of their educational pathway. Schools can partner with the program to enjoy various benefits, including reduced fees for students.
Equity and diversity programs
Aspire
Aspire UWA works with more than 70 partner schools and communities in regional Western Australia and Perth to raise aspirations for tertiary education.
Broadway
The Broadway scheme allows eligible students from a Broadway-identified Western Australian school to receive an automated ATAR adjustment.
Children's University
UWA has partnered with ECU and Children’s University Australasia to inspire a passion for lifelong learning and widen participation of students from diverse backgrounds to access higher education.
Fairway
Fairway UWA is an admission entry pathway and comprehensive support program for students completing Year 12 under challenging circumstances.
Girls in Engineering
The UWA Girls in Engineering (GiE) outreach program inspires female students to take advantage of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) study and the career pathways available in this area.
Indigenous students

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.
