Looking for a course that’s not listed?
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is a ranking of Year 12 achievement, used by universities to assess your eligibility for admission.
To be eligible to UWA based on previous or current Australian Year 12 studies, applicants must have completed the relevant state Certificate of Education and achieved an Australian Tertiary Aggregate Rank (ATAR) of 70 and above.
Some of UWA’s courses require additional criteria for entry, such as tests and interviews. Search for your course, to view all entry requirements.
Beyond ATAR, applicants must also provide evidence of satisfying UWA’s English Language Competence (ELC) requirements.
International and overseas qualifications
If you have previously completed qualifications overseas, you could be eligible to apply for study at UWA.
International Baccalaureate
If you’re currently studying an International Baccalaureate (IB), your IB score will be converted into the equivalent ATAR when you apply to study at UWA.
Australian and New Zealand high school qualifications
If you have completed another Australian state's high school qualification.
If you are a current year 12 student and completing Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) ATAR subjects that are related to your preferred UWA course, you may receive adjustment points that enables entry into your chosen UWA degree.
