ANOTHER PATHWAY TO UNIVERSITY (Continued)

UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA Applicants with TAFE Qualification

• Applicants with TAFE qualifications are considered for entry to all courses. Those with Advanced Diploma awards may be eligible for credit in some courses but all applicants should note that prerequisite subjects may not have been covered in their TAFE courses. If in doubt on these points, applicants with TAFE qualifications are advised to make an appointment with the sub-dean of the relevant faculty to discuss their application.

Alternative Admission Pathways

• UWay allows students whose academic achievement has been adversely affected by certain disadvantages to be considered for admission.

• Provisional Entry Scheme for indigenous students who have completed WACE but have not gained a sufficient high ATAR to enter their preferred course or who have a strong employment history and/or a good educational background.

• AccessUWA allows you to study the individual units of your choice at UWA without having to enrol in a degree course. As a student enrolled on a not-for-degree basis, you will have the option to apply for a bachelor's degree program once you have successfully completed four assessed degree-level units through AcesssUWA. Depending on the units selected, you may also apply to have these units credited towards your degree. www.uwa.edu.au/study/accessuwa

• First in Family if you have received an ATAR of 75.00 to79.95 and will be the first in your family to attend university, this program allows you to apply for one of our four undergraduate degrees, through a positive ATAR adjustment. www.uwa.edu.au/study/ first-in-family

• Broadway UWA The Broadway scheme allows eligible students from a Broadway-identified Western Australian school to receive an automated ATAR adjustment. Students may be eligible for a place at UWA with an ATAR score of 75.00 or above. www. uwa.edu.au/study/broadway

• Fairway UWA offers support and activities throughout Year 12 for students who have faced challenging circumstances. Successful completion of the program provides those with an ATAR of 70.00 or higher an admission entry pathway to any of our threeyear undergraduate degree courses. www.uwa.edu.au/study/fairway

THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

Standard Entry – Admission requirements

Admission is by direct application, comprising an application and supporting documentation, to the university. As a minimum requirement, students will have achieved their WACE, a scaled mark of at least 50 in ATAR English or Literature and an ATAR of 70. Unsuccessful applicants may apply for the university’s alternative entry pathway, as a stepping stone to the course of their choice.

Tertiary Pathway Program (TPP)

This is a one semester preparation program which is open to students seeking higher education but who do not currently meet admissions criteria. This program runs twice a year for 13 weeks.

Sample Of Tafe Courses Leading To University Degrees

An articulation agreement has been reached between TAFE and the universities for several courses; this agreement guarantees a direct pathway to the higher level degree course in the same area of study and also provides credit with exemptions for earlier learning at TAFE. In effect some degree courses can then be shortened by up to 18 months. Following are samples of John Curtin College of the Arts Year 12 courses which lead directly to TAFE certificates and diplomas and then articulate into degree courses at university. Select your Year 11 courses with the recommended Year 12 courses in mind. Students must study at least six courses.
