Portfolio entry

Our Portfolio entry pathway assesses your ability to succeed in higher education based on a portfolio of evidence.

This pathway caters for:

  • School leavers who don’t achieve an ATAR high enough for their chosen course or who will not obtain an ATAR,
  • Recent School Leavers who completed TEE and/or WACE courses and/or wholly school-assessed subjects,
  • Mature Age applicants who are over 20 years of age in the year they commence studies, who wish to enter university studies after several years away from formal education.

The Portfolio Pathway allows students to be considered for entry to bachelor courses and university preparation courses.

Applicants must meet all entry requirements for the portfolio pathway including:

  • (for recent school leavers) meeting the secondary graduation requirements of the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE), and
  • the prerequisites required for a particular course
