Researchers at Victoria University are looking for research participants who got admission into Bachelor programs via pathways where ATAR score is not the main factor.
About the study
This research explores how domestic undergraduate students from low SES backgrounds experience university life across Victoria and Western Australia. The aim is to understand what helps or hinders students’ success and how universities can offer better support.
You’re eligible if:
- You are currently studying at one of the following universities: Monash University, Federation University, RMIT University, The University of Western Australia, Curtin University, or Edith Cowan University
- You entered your current undergraduate course through a pathway that did not use an ATAR score.
- You were identified as a low SES student when you applied for your undergraduate degree. (Low SES refers to students living in the bottom 25% of Statistical Area 1 (SA1) regions according to the ABS SEIFA Index. You can check your area on ABS SEIFA Map)
What’s involved
- A confidential interview (approximately 60 minutes) conducted online
- You’ll be asked about your educational pathway, your experience with the admission process, teaching and learning, and support systems.
