Students who have completed a graded Australian University Enabling Program at another tertiary institution with an average of 65% or higher (or average of 60% or higher for eligible Broadway students) are eligible to apply for a selection of UWA undergraduate degrees. The program may have been completed during high school or post-high school.

ATAR tells you your position relative to other students in your year. It’s important to remember that it’s a percentage not a score. It is also the most direct way as a school leaver to get into the bachelor’s degree of your choice. There are two ATAR entry pathways:

ATAR based entry

You can secure your place at UWA with an ATAR of 75 or above, or with an ATAR of 70 (see Broadway UWA, Fairway UWA and First in Family). Use your final Year 12 ATAR to apply for UWA courses.

Predicted ATAR entry

We’ll be providing offers based on your predicted ATAR from your Year 11 results. You’ll need a minimum predicted ATAR of 80 (Broadway ATAR of 78) and meet the entry requirements for your nominated course to receive an offer.

If your predicted ATAR does not meet the early offer entry requirements for your nominated UWA course, you’ll receive a conditional offer – conditional that you satisfy the ATAR requirement for your chosen course through your final Year 12 ATAR or by successfully completing STAT.

You can use the predicted ATAR pathway to apply for admission to any of our undergraduate degrees, as well as our Assured Pathways to Law, Teaching, Architecture and Translation Studies. The Predicted ATAR entry pathway is not applicable for Assured Pathways to Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Podiatry or the Bachelor of Biomedicine (Specialised).

If you’re currently in Year 12, Early Offers allow you to apply early for 2025 entry through TISC Online before Friday 29 November 2024. Tick your application off your list so it's one less thing you need to think about and spend that time focusing on your final exams. You can apply for an Early Offer for all degrees excluding Assured Pathways to Medicine, Dental Medicine, Podiatric Medicine, or the Bachelor of Biomedicine (Specialised). We'll be able to assess your application in four ways – your predicted ATAR, your actual ATAR (if this is higher than your predicted), Experience-based entry or STAT.

The Educational Access Scheme (EAS) can help you gain access to uni if you’ve experienced exceptional circumstances during senior secondary schooling.

If your parents or guardians have not completed a university-level degree, you may be eligible for a place at UWA through the First in Family program.

Higher Education Study

If you have previously studied at a bachelor’s degree level and have successfully completed one full-time (or equivalent) semester, you can apply for entry to UWA.

UWA welcomes IB students to apply and your IB score will be converted into an equivalent ATAR.

The STAT is a national test that provides a pathway to tertiary study if you don’t meet the formal entry requirements. You can use your results in the STAT to gain entry to one of our comprehensive bachelor’s degrees.

There are numerous ways to transfer depending on your situation, and you may be eligible to have your credits rolled over. Wherever you are in your study journey, we’re here to help you make your transition to UWA a breeze.

UWA Smart Start is a university preparation course at our UWA Albany campus for anyone who didn't complete Year 12, didn't get the minimum ATAR for their chosen course or hasn't studied for a while. More information is available here
