UniReady Enabling Program
Entry into science courses
If you're interested in studying a science-based course at university, the Enabling Course for Science, Engineering and Health may be suitable for you.
It's a one-year course that will give you a solid understanding of science and maths, and can help you qualify for Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Speech Pathology, Engineering and other science degrees.
If you want to meet the entry requirements for a bachelor degree at Curtin, this short program can help.
UniReady is free to Australian and New Zealand citizens, and Australian permanent residents. It's designed to help you gain entry into Curtin's minimum ATAR undergraduate courses in Humanities, Business and Health Sciences.
UniReady is for you if you:
- narrowly missed out on Curtin's minimum ATAR; or
- completed year 12 but did not take WACE exams; or
- completed TAFE studies at a certificate IV level; or
- are a mature age student
The program aims to develop your independent learning skills in preparation for university-level study. It can be studied online during semester one or two, or if you're in year 12 you can complete it on-campus during the summer.
After successfully completing the program, a 'notional' ATAR will be calculated from your results. Your score isn't considered an official ATAR because it isn't awarded through WACE, but it's recognised by Curtin and TISC as meeting the university's minimum entry requirements.
Semester two: online
This six-month program is available fully online and includes live web conferencing support sessions. You'll need reliable access to the internet, with broadband preferable.
If you wish to study part-time, you can complete it over two semesters.
Applications close 22 June 2012.
Summer: on-campus
If you're currently in year 12 and worried you won't get the ATAR you need, UniReady Summer can help you gain entry into your chosen course in time for Semester 1, 2013.
To be eligible, you must have completed a minimum of four Stage 2 WACE courses in Year 12.
The 5-week program starts with a compulsory Orientation/Enrolment Day on 4 January 2013. Classes commence on 7 January 2013 and finish on 8 February 2013.
Applications open: 10 September 2012
Applications close: 30 November 2012
