Indigenous Provisional Entry Scheme
Supporting Indigenous students with entry into UWA.
The Indigenous Provisional Entry Scheme supports Indigenous students to undertake undergraduate studies by providing places for WACE students expecting an ATAR lower than the course entry requirement. You’ll still need to achieve a reasonable ATAR that varies depending on the course.
UWA also offers entry pathways for non-WACE students with other life and education experiences. Read on to discover what might be the best pathway for you.
This entry pathway is run by UWA Indigenous Student Services.
Eligibility
There are plenty of entry pathways to study at UWA. Learn more about the best option for you.
WACE students
The Indigenous Provisional Entry Scheme is a great pathway for Indigenous WACE students expecting an ATAR lower than the undergraduate course entry requirement.
You’ll need to have:
- Completed WACE
- Graduated from Year 12 (within the past two years)
- Achieved a reasonable ATAR (which varies, depending on the course)
- Completed any course prerequisites (for example, WACE English)
If you’re an Indigenous student and achieved the required ATAR for your course, you can apply through the ATAR pathway.
Non-WACE students
If you’re an Indigenous non-school leaver or non-WACE student, there are still plenty of pathways to undergraduate studies.
UWA’s Experience-based entry is a great option if you have:
- A good education background (for example, an apprenticeship, TAFE or bridging course)
- And/or relevant work experience
- And/or are a mature-age student (aged 20 years or above)
We recommend reaching out to our Indigenous Student Services team and we can help determine which is the right pathway for you.
