High school student resources

To be eligible for admission into some Curtin courses, you need to have completed specific ATAR subjects, called prerequisites. Search for your course to see if it has prerequisites – they are listed under the admission criteria on each course page and on the TISC website.

Find your course

Did you know there’s more than one way to get into Curtin courses? We offer a number of pathways to help you meet our admission criteria. So if you haven’t met the requirements for your course, don’t worry – we have a pathway for you.

Once you’ve checked that you meet the admission criteria for your course, it’s time to apply! To study at Curtin in semester 1, 2022, you apply through TISC. You’ll need to register with TISC and then follow the prompts. When it’s time to enter your preferences as part of your application, list the Curtin course you want to study first.

We offer a range of scholarships to help students achieve their best at uni. Some scholarships are offered for academic achievement, while others are designed to make university possible for students who face financial hardship.

We also offer advice on how to manage your finances and stay on top of university costs.

Our Innovative Student Scholars Program (ISSP) offers a select number of high-ability students in Year 10, 11 and 12 the opportunity to engage in tertiary learning while also providing them with a genuine Curtin student experience.

ISSP students receive full fee sponsorship and study one first-year unit per semester on a not-for-degree basis, to a maximum of four units across the program. A range of units is available from all four faculties: Business and Law, Health Sciences, Humanities and Science & Engineering.

Subject to satisfactory completion, students are eligible to gain Credit for Recognised Learning (CRL) upon enrolling into a relevant Curtin degree after high school. During their time in ISSP, they’ll also familiarise themselves with the ways of tertiary education and engage in all relevant Curtin activities like other regular full degree students.
