Switch Curtin courses
If you feel your current Curtin undergraduate course isn’t for you, you may be able to switch to a different course, provided you meet the criteria.
If you meet the criteria, you can change to a different course by applying internally through the Admissions office. There is a cut-off date each semester for course switching.
Course switching as a pathway
Course switching may help you get into a course with more competitive admission criteria.
For example, you can study the Bachelor of Science (Health Sciences) to help you qualify for admission into a variety of health sciences courses, or you can study the Bachelor of Science (Multidisciplinary Science) to help you qualify for admission into an engineering course or select science courses. You need to complete certain units that enable you to meet the prerequisite/s and achieve the required course-weighted average for your preferred course.
Eligibility criteria
You are eligible to switch courses if you are in one of these categories:
- you are a current Curtin student
