Students who want to pursue higher education in Australia’sdith Co top public university for undergraduate teaching quality, Ewan University (CRICOS Provider No. 00279B), may do so even without completing the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).
ATAR is the primary criterion for domestic student entry into undergraduate courses in Australian public universities like ECU.
Key Takeaways:
- Edith Cowan University allows Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)-free entry to the university.
- ATAR is a student requirement to enter any undergraduate courses in Australian public universities like ECU.
- ECU also provided other options for students apart from the preparation courses to gain entry into the university.
Removing the ATAR requirement means that once students complete a university preparation course, they will be eligible for many ECU degree courses.
ECU grouped similar fields of work into study areas. Students can choose an undergraduate or postgraduate degree within each study area, and within most degree courses, they can choose their major subject.
ECU’s degree courses cover the fields of arts and humanities, business and law, engineering and technology, medical and health sciences, nursing and midwifery, teacher education, and science.
Moreover, ECU provides many opportunities to enter the university. Preparation courses are just one of several ways to gain entry into the university; other options include:
- Early Offers using student’s predicted ATAR
- ATAR entry via the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC)
- Vocational Education and Training (VET) or prior Higher Education
- Experience-Based Entry using a portfolio of evidence
- Undergraduate Certificate of Higher Education (Summer Program)
- UniPrep General: This runs for one full semester and starts in February 2022.
- UniPrep Accelerate (for high school students with a near-miss ATAR between 55 – 69.95). This intensive four-week program runs at ECU’s Joondalup Campus in January so students can start a university course in Semester 1 in 2022.
The Swinburne University of Technology has also provided hundreds of exceptional high school students the certainty of ATAR-free entry into university.
Such a move to drop the ATAR requirement from these two educational institutions is deemed to ensure students a place where they can and access work-integrated learning opportunities and pursue their chosen career.
