What about prerequisites?
If you didn’t achieve a scaled score of at least 50 for a prerequisite subject, consider applying for an alternative course such as Multidisciplinary Science, Health Sciences or the UniReady Enabling Program and then switch to your preferred course at a later date.
Apply for special consideration
If your ATAR was compromised by circumstances beyond your control, you may be eligible for special consideration.
If your ATAR was lower than expected
If you didn’t receive your first preference offer because of your ATAR, apply for an alternative course where it looks like you’ll meet the required ATAR, such as Multidisciplinary Science, Health Sciences, Commerce or Arts. These courses are also available for Access Curtin entry.
Didn’t meet Curtin’s English competency requirement?
The UniReady Enabling program can help you qualify for entry into a range of undergraduate courses. When you complete the program, you will fulfil Curtin’s minimum admission criteria of a 70 ATAR and English language proficiency.
