Overview
Overview
The UniReady program can help you qualify for entry into a range of undergraduate courses. You'll study four units: three core units and one optional unit. Your optional unit should relate to your preferred degree course.
Successful completion of the program will fulfil the minimum admission criteria or an ATAR of 70 and English proficiency.
This program is an excellent option if you:
- did not meet a 70 ATAR score at high school
- did not choose to study ATAR
- did not complete your high school studies
- are undertaking or have successfully completed vocational studies and want to study at university
- are 20 years of age or above.
Recommended English language level
UniReady is taught in standard Australian English and although academic language skills are covered, it is not an English language development course.
To be able to engage effectively with the UniReady course it is recommended that you have:
- A spoken English level where you can comfortably converse in English in the classroom setting.
- A reading English level where you can readily comprehend an Australian newspaper article.
- A written English level where you can produce a comprehensible paragraph of text about a topic with mostly correct grammar and punctuation.
If you’ve met Curtin’s academic entry requirements but still need to meet the English language requirement, you can apply for our UniReady (Academic English Competency) program.
Fees
This program is free as it is fully government funded.
Duration
12 weeks plus orientation, study and exam weeks. See our academic calendar for specific dates.
Study mode
