Experience-based entry
At UWA we believe that bright, motivated and passionate students should have the opportunity to kick-start their career at WA’s top ranked university (QS 2024).
That’s why UWA created Experienced-based entry, which allows you to apply for a select number of our undergraduate bachelor's degrees using a combination of academic achievements and life experiences.
We will assess all your qualifications and life experiences using a point system, where points will be awarded for each item submitted, and the total number of points will determine your eligibility for your chosen course.

Professor Steve Hopper AC
Research student profile
“I came to UWA to study abroad as part of a Master of Science Biodiversity and Conservation from University College London. The proximity to wild spaces and close connections to academics and traditional custodians drew me to the Albany campus. I enrolled in two units that featured a week of intensive fieldwork in Albany. These units were so amazing, I decided to transfer to the Albany campus. What followed was a beautiful semester of field trips to the Fitzgerald National Park, making wonderful friends with fellow students and, most memorably, learning from Elders about this beautiful Menang Country.
I'm now studying a PhD which gives me the opportunity to learn more about the cultural heritage of granite outcrops, how to conserve it and how the cultural heritage interacts with the biodiversity. I’m also working together with traditional custodians to add to the knowledge of cross-cultural ecology methodologies to better care for our country in a way that benefits people and the environment.“

Research and volunteer opportunities
Students have the opportunity to gain experience and build new skills through volunteering in a range of research activities. We have opportunities for you to assist with, for example:
- field-based sampling and collection of animals (mammals, birds, bats, fish, invertebrates) and plants
- laboratory experiments, and sample processing (e.g. macroinvertebrate identification)
- processing remote camera images of wildlife.
Our researchers are working with many different plants and animals, in different landscapes and with different people. By volunteering as research assistance, you will gain experiences and learn new skills that will benefit both your studies and future career aspirations...
