Study a six or 12-month bridging course in a supportive learning environment and qualify for university entry.
Our six- and 12-month Indigenous enabling courses offer a supportive, culturally informed pathway to university study. If you’re an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student aged 17 or over and you don’t have an ATAR or didn’t finish Year 12, these courses are designed to build your confidence, develop your skills and take the next step towards uni.
By successfully completing an enabling program, you’ll meet the minimum admission requirements for a wide range of Curtin undergraduate degrees in business, health, science and engineering.
To apply, simply submit the Expression of Interest form below and attach your résumé. Once we’ve received your details, our Indigenous Support team will contact you to arrange an admissions workshop at CAS. During the workshop, you’ll complete reading, writing and spelling tasks, as well as a short essay. Our CAS academics will then assess your strengths and capabilities and recommend the course that’s the best fit for you.
You may also be eligible for other bridging and enabling pathways to university. We’re here to help you explore the option that suits you best.
