Specialise in one area or create a degree that combines your interests. Whatever career you seek, you'll find a UWA degree that fits.

Within our undergraduate offerings, we have a wide range of different options available, including: comprehensive degrees, specialised degrees, combined bachelor's degrees where you study two degrees at the same time, and integrated honours degrees.

Our assured pathways give you a guaranteed place in one of our high-demand postgraduate courses at the start of your studies. Your place is guaranteed on the basis of your high school performance or equivalent (subject to satisfactory performance in your undergraduate degree).

Our combined bachelor's and master's degrees give you an express path to your postgraduate qualification. You'll start advanced postgraduate-level studies in your third year of your bachelor degree and complete two degrees in just four years so you can enter your dream career sooner.

We're focused on education that helps you achieve your career goals, which is why there is a range of ways you can undertake study with us. Our dedicated team will work with you to develop the best option to set you up for long-term success.

If you don't achieve the ATAR (or equivalent) required to secure your place in one of our postgraduate pathways, don't worry, you can always apply for your chosen postgraduate degree using the grades you achieve in your bachelor's degree.

Applying to UWA

1. Read the information on this website and the summary of our admission requirements. Take note of the important dates so you don't miss a deadline. If we don't hear from you by a particular date, this may cause some problems, but we'll always work with you to find a solution. Be sure to get in touch with us if this occurs at How to apply.
2. Visit uwa.edu.au/study to find out the latest information about our globally recognised courses.
3. Check you have met the prerequisites or recommended courses for your intended area of study (see individual course entries on Course Search), and that you satisfy the University's English language competence requirement.
4. If you have any questions at all, contact UWA Admissions at admissions@uwa.edu.au or on 131 UWA (131 892).

Apply through TISC if you:

• Are currently completing a secondary education qualification as either a school leaver or as a mature age student;
• Are applying for one of UWA's Assured Pathway Programs

All other applicants may apply directly to UWA.

Successful university study requires a certain level of English language skills. Many applicants will be able to demonstrate English language competence through satisfactory performance in the required English subjects at school (final scaled score of 50 or above in an ATAR English subject). If you're unable to demonstrate English language competence in this way, you'll need satisfactory performance in an alternative UWA-approved test of English or through completion of a UWA communications unit. A list of approved tests is available at uwa.edu.au/study/elc.

At UWA you can choose from a range of admission pathways. Visit uwa.edu.au/apply.

Early offers
Ready to begin your career journey at UWA? If you are currently in Year 12, you can apply now for 2022 entry. 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.

1. Predicted ATAR entry
We'll be providing offers based on your UWA predicted ATAR at the end of Year 11 or middle of Year 12 school results.

Students must exceed the entry requirements for their nominated course by 3 ATAR points to receive an offer for courses requiring an ATAR up to 92 and 1 ATAR point for courses above 92. If you satisfy this requirement, you'll simply need to achieve a final ATAR.

If your Year 11 predicted ATAR doesn't meet the entry requirements for your nominated UWA course or doesn't exceed the entry requirement by 3 ATAR points you'll receive a conditional offer - conditional that you receive above the entry requirement in your final Year 12 ATAR or by successfully completing STAT. You can also provide your Year 12 mid-year report and we will reassess your predicted ATAR and where possible update your UWA offer.

2. STAT entry
Even if you're not taking enough ATAR subjects for University entry (or not taking ATAR at all), you can still apply to UWA through the Special Tertiary Admissions Test. If you're in Year 12 (or under the age of 20), you'll need written permission from UWA before TISC will accept your booking.

STAT entry is only available for entry into our comprehensive degrees (excluding the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours)).

3. ATAR based entry
Students can use their final Year 12 ATAR to apply for UWA courses, applying either directly to UWA or via TISC.

UWA believes completion of Year 12 ATAR studies is the best preparation for successful University study. We encourage Year 12 students to focus on their ATAR studies throughout Year 12, and we look forward to partnering with you to make your UWA studies a success and progress you on your pathway to your successful career journey.

Students may 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, Landscape Architecture, and Translation studies. The Predicted ATAR entry pathway is not applicable for Assured Pathways to Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Podiatry.

All students gaining entry through one of the early offer pathways must successfully complete WACE, satisfy UWA's English requirements and any specific course or major prerequisite requirements.
