Overview
Overview
If you’re a regional Western Australian student or face barriers to university entry, UniReady Extended is a fully online, fee-free pathway into Curtin undergraduate degrees in Engineering and Health Sciences.
Designed for students who have completed the UniReady Enabling Program, it builds on your academic foundations and introduces discipline-specific learning to help you transition confidently into your chosen field.
You can choose from two study streams: Engineering or Health Sciences.
Engineering stream
The Engineering stream develops your foundation in mathematics and physical sciences, along with introductory engineering concepts. It prepares you for further study in engineering and supports your transition into the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), with majors including chemical, civil, mechanical, and software systems engineering.
For a full list of majors, visit: curtin.edu/engmajors.
Health Sciences stream
The Health Sciences stream explores how the human body works and how health is influenced by biological, social, and environmental factors.
It prepares you for a range of health degrees, including:
- Midwifery
- Nutrition
- Occupational Therapy¹
- Paramedicine
- Pharmacy
- Physiotherapy¹
- Speech Pathology¹
¹ To enrol in Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy or Speech Pathology, you must achieve a course-weighted average of 65% in your UniReady Extended program.
For more information about the health courses available, visit curtin.edu/health.
Both streams offer you a clear and supported pathway into your future degree, with structured learning, strong academic support, and a focus on helping you succeed.
What you'll learn
- apply foundational knowledge relevant to your chosen stream such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, or health
- demonstrate academic and professional skills required for success in tertiary study, including academic integrity, research, referencing, and science communication
- use appropriate digital tools and technologies to locate, interpret, and communicate information in academic and discipline-specific settings
- use critical thinking and inquiry-based approaches to explore issues in health and/or science, drawing on evidence and discipline-specific knowledge
- develop and apply academic skills and foundational STEM knowledge to support a successful transition into first-year undergraduate study in science or health related disciplines
